Why is catalyst frequently required for the reactions involving H2 as a reactant?


A) Hydrogen is a gas, it has low solubility. Catalyst can increase its solubility.
B) Hydrogen is a small molecule that can easily escape any reaction. Catalyst prevents this by rapidly reacting with H2.
C) Due to the strong H-H bond, the reactions with H2 have high activation energy. Catalyst is used to lower this activation energy.
