A student adds 1 g of a solid, Q, to some hydrogen peroxide solution. Oxygen is made faster than without Q.
The total volume of oxygen collected is twice the volume collected from the same hydrogen peroxide solution without Q.
Which conclusion is correct?
Q is a catalyst, because it increases the rate of the reaction.
Q is a catalyst, because catalysts increase the amount of product made.
Q is not a catalyst, because a catalyst does not change the amount of product, so Q must also be reacting.
Q is not a catalyst, because a catalyst would make the reaction produce less oxygen.
