What is the role of a promoter?

(a) Slow down the reaction

(b) Inhibits the reaction

(c) Increases the catalyst process

(d) None of the mentioned

This question was posed to me in unit test.

Enquiry is from Sulfide Reduction in portion Amination by Reduction of Unit Processes

Answer 1

Right option is (c) Increases the catalyst process

The explanation: A promoter is an element which increases the reaction rate by promoting the catalyst in lowering the activation energy and hence we can achieve equilibrium faster.
