Catalysis

Pro Tip 1/3

Used mostly in scientific contexts, especially chemistry and industrial processes.

Researchers discussed the catalysis of the chemical reaction during the conference.

Pro Tip 2/3

A catalyst is not consumed in catalysis; it remains unchanged after the reaction.

Catalysis helps manufacture medicines quickly, without the catalyst being used up.

Pro Tip 3/3

Don't confuse catalysis with a 'reaction'; it's the process of acceleration, not the reaction itself.

The professor explained that catalysis is not the same as the reaction occurring.
