Only if there is a desperate housing shortage! More seriously, a catalyst for a desired reaction can function by inhibiting competing reactions.
The catalyst is not a reactant; a catalyst only favors a chemical reaction, the reaction rate and yield.
A catalyst speeds up the rate of 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.
The opposite of a catalyst is an inhibitor, something that suppresses or slows a reaction.
A catalyst speeds up the rate of a reaction.
No, a catalyst will not change reaction enthalpy. If it does so, then it is NOT a catalyst but a reactant in stead!
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).
The component affected when a catalyst is added to a chemical reaction is the reactants. The purpose of a catalyst is to speed up a reaction.
A catalyst is a substance that speeds up the rate of a chemical reaction.
In a chemical reaction, a catalyst is not consumed and remains unchanged at the end of the reaction process.
A catalyst speeds up a chemical reaction by lowering the activation energy required for the reaction to occur. It does so by providing an alternative reaction pathway that requires less energy to initiate the reaction. The catalyst itself remains unchanged at the end of the reaction and can be used over and over again.
A catalyst is a substance that initiates or accelerates a reaction. The catalyst will vary depending on the reaction so it is not possible to give a definitive answer to the question.
