Which outcome reduces reaction time when adding platinum?

💡 Explanation

Lowering activation energy increases reaction rate because chemical reactions often require a minimum energy threshold. Because platinum acts as a catalyst, it lowers the activation energy via an alternate reaction pathway, therefore increasing the rate, rather than thermodynamically altering enthalpy.
