What is it called when one or more substances change into one or more new substances?
This could refer to a chemical transformation (chemical change), a chemical reaction, or spontaneous change. Some changes require another substance or substances to be mixed together. Some reactions will occur by themselves without any outside manipulation or stimulation.
What is a substance that speeds up a chemical reaction without being consumed by the reaction?
potassium iodide
Critical mass is the of material required to produce a chain reaction?
minimum amount
What is a substance that alters the rate of a chemical reaction without being permanently changed in the reaction?
These are called catalysts.

A substance that speeds up a chemical reaction without undergoing a permanent change itself is?
A substance that speeds up a chemical reaction without undergoing a permanent change itself is a catalyst.
Why are nuclear coolers important?
because without the cooling effect produced most often by the addition of water, the heat produced by the nuclear energy production process will cause the nuclear substance (plutonium, uranium and other sources) to melt down and produce extremely dangerous radioactive gases into the natural and social environment. an example of this exact situation occurring is the incident in Fukushima, Japan 2011. Where an earthquake and tsunami disrupted energy production and cooling facilities causing partial meltdowns of the plants radioactive core and the release of radioactive gases into the lower atmosphere.
What is a substance that speeds a chemical reaction without itself being charged?

What is cataliyst?

What is a cellular catalysts?
