Catalysts are used to increase the rate of a chemical reaction. Because it

  • A
    Increases the activation energy of the reaction
  • B
    Decreases the activation energy of the reaction
  • C
    Brings about improper orientation of reactant molecules
  • D
    Increases the potential energy barrier
