Why is catalyst added while preparing oxygen from decomposition of

Why is catalyst added while preparing oxygen from decomposition of \( K C l O_{3} ? \)

  • A. to increase the rate of reaction
  • B. \( K C l O_{3} \) decomposes at lower temperature
  • C. catalyst undergoes no change chemically or in mass
  • D. all of the above

Step-by-step solution

A catalyst increases the rate of decomposition (A), allows the reaction to proceed at a lower temperature (B), and remains chemically unchanged and in mass after the reaction (C). Thus, all given statements are correct.
