- c) explanation of the role of a catalyst: in increasing reaction rate without being used up by the overall reaction; in allowing a reaction to proceed via a different route with lower activation energy, as shown by enthalpy profile diagrams
- di) explanation of the terms homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts
- dii) explanation that catalysts have great economic importance and benefits for increased sustainability by lowering temperatures and reducing energy demand from combustion of fossil fuels with resulting reduction in CO₂ emissions

- Catalysts
- Transition metals and their compounds can act as heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysts.
- A heterogeneous catalyst is in a different phase from the reactants and the reaction occurs at active sites on the surface.
- The use of a support medium to maximise the surface area of a heterogeneous catalyst and minimise the cost.
