Is platinum is a precious stone?
Platinum is a metal. It is found in its metallic form. Its color makes it valuable as jewelry. Its chemical properties make it valuable as a catalyst.
Why does a battery corrode?
Batteries, specifically wet cell batteries, mostly corrode due to leaks in their casings. These leaks allow the material inside the battery to seep out and contaminate the battery's metallic casing. This leaked material acts as a catalyst for the oxidation of the metallic casing of the battery, otherwise known as corrosion.
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
Silvery metallic element used as catalyst and in various alloys?
yttrium
What is the process of fat hydrogenation?
The process of fat hydrogenation involves a high temperature and the involvement of a metallic catalyst. The metallic catalyst either increases or decreases the number of the chemical bonds within the molecules of the substances.
What is the catalytic converter made of?
Normally, they're made of some kind of ceramic material substrate covered by a thin layer of a metallic catalyst. At one time, the catalyst was at least partially platinum; I'm not sure if that's still true or not.

What is a substance that speeds up a reaction?
A catalyst is a substance that speeds up the rate of a chemical reaction.
Which catalyst is used in esterification of glycerol with acetic acid?
Usually, the catalysts used for the acetylation (esterification with acetic acid) of glycerol are transition metallic oxides.For instance - ZrO2, WO3, TiO2, MoO3 and others.
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?
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.
