Chemistry Laboratory Techniques II
A laboratory (informally, lab) is a facility that provides controlled conditions in which scientific or technological research, experiments, and measurement may be performed.
Catalysis is the process of increasing the rate of a chemical reaction by adding a substance known as a catalyst. Catalysts are not consumed in the reaction and remain unchanged after it. Often only minimal amounts of catalyst are required. Catalysts generally react with one or more reactants to form intermediates that subsequently give the final reaction product to regenerate the catalyst.
