speeds it up or starts it
A catalyst alters the rate of a chemical reaction.
The rate of a chemical reaction will change in the presence of a catalyst, unless the reaction is already at equilibrium.
A catalyst doesn't undergo a chemical change during a chemical reaction.
A catalyst must change the rate of a chemical reaction. It must be unchanged at the end of the reaction.
The catalyst is not a reactant; a catalyst only favors a chemical reaction, the reaction rate and yield.
When a catalyst is added to a chemical reaction, the rate of the reaction will increase without being consumed in the process. This means that the reaction will reach equilibrium faster and require less activation energy. The overall chemical equilibrium and products formed will remain the same.
The process is spelled catalysis (change in reaction rate).The substance that makes a chemical reaction change is a catalyst.
No a catalyst is unchanged by a chemical reaction, it does however serve to speed up the rate of the reaction.
A catalyst can speed up the rate of a given chemical reaction by lowering the activation energy required for the reaction to occur. However, the catalyst does not change the total free energy from reactants to products.
A catalyst is not consumed in a chemical reaction, meaning it does not undergo a permanent change in its own chemical structure. It increases the rate of a chemical reaction by providing an alternative pathway with lower activation energy.
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 speeds up the rate of a chemical reaction without changing the substance. It does this by reducing the minimal reaction energy. A catalyst is not used up in a reaction therefore they last indefinitely.
