Chem kinetics?

explain why does the concentration of the catalyst may be a part of the rate law..

use mathematical equation if necessary

Answer:
this is possible if the chemical reaction undergoes autocatalysis or it's autocatalytic (the reaction product is itself the catalyst for the reaction).

you can learn more about it here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/autocatalys...
the rate of reaction is limited by the most scarce factor(perhaps not the correct wording but hope u get the picture)

so when the amount of catalyst is not enough for a certain reaction, you can increase the speed of reaction by adding more of the catalyst. but once the catalyst is enough, the speed won't be increased by adding more catalyst.
