How does the present of a catalyst affect the rate of reactions?
A catalyst is a substance which speeds up the rate of reaction. After the reaction it remain chemically unchanged. It does NOT affect the position of equilibrium. There can also be negative or "poisoned" catalysts as in Rosenmunds reaction.
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.
What happens to the reaction rate when a catalyst is used in a chemical reaction?
With a catalyst the reaction rate is higher.
will a catalyst change the enthalpy of a reaction in a chemical reaction?
No, a catalyst will not change reaction enthalpy. If it does so, then it is NOT a catalyst but a reactant in stead!
What effect does a catalyst have?
a catalyst has no effect in chemical reaction. it only increases or decreases the rate of the chemical reaction.

What is the difference between reagent and catalyst?
catalysts accelerate the rate of reaction but does not get consume in reaction, and reappear after reaction is over, whereas reagents initiate reation and get consume in reation.
Why a catalyst is not involved chemically in chemical reaction?
The catalyst is not a reactant; a catalyst only favors a chemical reaction, the reaction rate and yield.
What effect does catalyst on a reaction?
A catalyst speeds up the rate of a reaction.

What is a substance that speeds up a reaction?
A catalyst is a substance that speeds up the rate of a chemical reaction.
What substance increases the rate of a reaction but is not itself changed by the reaction?
It's called a catalyst. A catalyst is present during a chemical reaction but does not participate as a reactant or product. A catalyst lowers the reaction's activation energy, making the reaction easier to happen. In the equation for a chemical reaction, the catalyst's formula appears in small notation above the "yield" arrow (format won't let me show you an example.) An example of a catalyst is potassium iodide (KI) speeding up the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2).
What effect does a catalyst having a reaction?
A catalyst speeds up the rate of a reaction.

What does a catalyst do in a chemical reaction?
Reduces the activation energy of the reaction, which speeds up the progress of the reaction It increases the rate of a chemical reaction. However a true catalyst is not consumed in the reaction.
