Catalysis

Presents a study of catalysis as the fourth factor in the velocity of chemical reactions. Explains how catalysts may function by absorbing molecules, activating molecules, forming an intermediate compound, or starting a chain reaction. Illustrates application of negative catalysts in the manufacture of rubber and antiknock gasoline. Calls attention to the relation of catalysis to plant and animal life.
