A catalyst is something which speeds up
a chemical reaction without itself being
one of the reactants or products (in other words,
without being consumed).
Magnesium sulfate is probably a good catalyst for
some reactions, not for others. What reaction are
you interested in?
Best, Prof. Topper
==========================================================
A catalyst is a substance that accelerates a chemical reaction without
being changed by the reaction. Different substances catalyze different
reactions. For example, platinum catalyzes the burning of hydrogen in air,
acid catalyzes the decomposition of starch into glucose, and iron catalyzes
the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen.
I do not know of any reaction that is catalyzed by magnesium sulfate, so I
don't know why it might be a good catalyst.

Is a catalyst used up in a reaction?
Yes, a catalyst can be re-used, because It is NOT actually used in a chemical reaction. A catalyst will increase the rate of reaction by attracting reactants, but the catalyst is not a reactant. However, the reuse cannot be done indefinitely then, depending on the severity of the reaction conditions, it can be occur a small, but accumulative deactivation of the catalys.
Why can catalyst be used again?
Yes a catalyst can be reused because it unchanged chemically or in mass at the end of a reaction. However, this cannot be done indefinitely then, depending on the severity of the reaction conditions, it can be occur a small, but accumulative deactivation of the catalyst
What term describes a substance rhat lowers the amount of energy needed to start a chemical reaction?
This substance is called a catalyst.
Is MnO a catalyst?
Yes, it is a chemical catalyst.
Is copper a catalyst?
yeap, a heat catalyst

What is a substance that speeds up a reaction?
A catalyst is a substance that speeds up the rate of a chemical reaction.
A substance that speeds up rate of a chemical reaction?
Catalyst, biocatalyst or enzyme.
Which does a catalyst not change?
Catalyst is not a reactant.
Catalyst vs one without catalyst What is different?
what is the purpose of catalyst in textile paint?
Severity in a sentence?
Severity is the condition of being severe. Sentences with severity: "The criminals were punished based on the severity of their crimes." "Mom did not know the severity of the damage."
What is the difference between a homogeneous catalyst and a heterogeneous catalyst?
The difference between a homogeneous and a heterogeneous catalyst is that in a heterogeneous catalyst, it is in a different phase from the reactants. However, in a homogeneous catalyst, it is in the same phase as the reactants.
What is the difference between positive catalyst and negative catalyst?
The substances which increase the rate of a chemical reaction are called a Positive Catalyst whereas The substances which decrease the rate of a chemical reaction are called Negative Catalyst. Positive Catalyst decreases the Activation energy of reactant molecules whereas negative catalyst increases the Activation energy of the reactant molecules. Positive Catalyst is also called the Promoter whereas negative catalyst is also called Inhibitor.
Is MnO a catalyst?
Yes, it is a chemical catalyst.
