The catalyst, and therefore its mass, will not have reduced in quantity during the reaction. By separating the catalyst from the products after reaction and weighing it, decrease in mass should be negligible, if applicable, and associable with loss through transfer from/to locations, proving that it has not reacted.
You could re-do the experiment without the substance and if the reaction completed slower then the substance acted as a catalyst.
Also catalysts dont get used up themselves so if the substance did get used up in the reaction (there was more / less of it at the end of the reaction) then it probably didnt act as a catalyst.
Hope this helped :)
When you write out the chemical equation, write the name or symbol of the catalyst over the arrow.
Substances that speed up the rate of reaction are called catalysts. Catalysts participate in chemical reaction but does not get consumed. Yeast is an example of biological catalyst.
Catalysts are never consumed in the reaction. that's what makes them catalyst! not a reactant. they increase the rate of reaction by lowering the activation energy for the reaction. One of the ways to do this by providing an alternative route for the reaction to follow.
A catalyst lowers the activation energy without being consumed during a reaction
A catalyst is a chemical species that alters the rate of a chemical reaction without undergoing any type of change. Such catalysts that slow down a reaction are called negative catalysts or poison.
Catalysts help chemical reactions: the activation energy is lowered, the reaction rate is accelerated. Catalysts are not exhausted in the reaction and are recyclable.

No. There is no type of a catalyst that is consumed in a reaction.
A substance that will increase the rate of a chemical reaction without becoming part of the products or being consumed in the reaction.

They speed a chemical reaction. Add: Catalysts lower the activation energy needed to start a chemical reaction.
A substance that helps chemical reactions is called a catalyst. It speeds up the rate of a reaction by providing an alternative pathway with lower activation energy. Catalysts are not consumed in the reaction and can be used repeatedly.

A catalyst is a material that promotes a chemical reaction by its mere presence. It isn't changed or consumed in the process. Wikipedia has more information, and a link is provided.

These substances are called catalysts.
