The Oil Spill Eater company shares that you only need 1 gallon of the enzyme mix

Question

The Oil Spill Eater company shares that you only need 1 gallon of the enzyme mixture for 50 gallons of the spilled oil. What property of catalysts explains why so much less Oil Spill Eater is needed compared to the amount of oil?

Catalysts are ["produced", "regenerated", "consumed", "released"] in the reaction, therefore, the catalyst can ["shift the equilibrium towards the products", "perform the reaction multiple times", "be captured for future use", "push the reaction to completion", "not be used again"]         .

Explanation / Answer

The enzyme mixture is used as catalyst in the given reaction. Catalyst is regenerated during the course of the reaction. So, a small amount can be recycled over and over.

Catalysts are regenerated in the reaction, therefore, the catalyst can perform the reaction multiple times.
