Abstract
The model of the unified mechanism of catalytic reactions within the framework of a new paradigm of catalysis was proposed as the development of the conception "electron as a catalyst". The model of the unified mechanism of catalysis made it possible to obtain the universal law of the catalytic rate. From the universal law of catalysis, the laws of heterogeneous, homogeneous, field catalysis, and Faraday's law of electrolysis follow as particular results. The laws and equations of catalysis are the mathematical equivalents of the mechanism of catalysis. The laws of catalysis are represented by equations in which the characteristics of the substance of the catalyst and other reaction participants are parametres.
