the claim

A catalyst increases the rate of a reaction.

the evidence backs this
Recorded sources
8 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that a catalyst increases the rate of a reaction?

Yes. Two reference sources state directly that a catalyst increases the rate of a chemical reaction, and several peer-reviewed papers describe catalysts affecting reaction rates in specific systems.
