catalyst
A catalyst is a substance that speeds up a chemical reaction by lowering the activation energy needed for the reaction to occur, without being consumed or permanently altered in the process.
These are called catalysts.
These are called catalysts.
A substance that accelerates a chemical reaction but is not consumed in the process is called a catalyst. Catalysts work by lowering the activation energy required for a reaction to proceed, thus speeding up the reaction without being permanently changed or used up themselves.
A Catalyst.From wikipedia: "Catalysis is the process in which the rate of a chemical reaction is increased by means of a chemical substance known as a catalyst. Unlike other reagents that participate in the chemical reaction, a catalyst is not consumed by the reaction itself. The catalyst may participate in multiple chemical transformations."http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catalyst
Catalyst is the substance that speeds up a chemical reaction without being consumed in the process.
A catalyst is a substance that speeds up a chemical reaction without being consumed in the reaction itself. It provides an alternative pathway with lower activation energy for the reaction to occur, increasing the reaction rate without being permanently changed.
* Reactants: the initial compounds in a chemical reaction. * Products: the final compounds in a chemical reaction. * Catalyst: a chemical compound which help the chemical reaction but not react with the other compounds.
No, in order for a chemical reaction to take place, a new chemical substance must be formed.
