What net effect does a chemical reaction have on a catalyst?
None: The catalyst remains unchanged, but the catalyst also speeds up the reaction.
Why a catalyst is not considered a reactant or product in a chemical reaction?
If a substance is a reactant or product of a chemical reaction then, by definition, it cannot be a catalyst.
What is a substance that enables a chemical reaction to proceed under different conditions?
A catalyst is a substance that enables a chemical reaction to proceed under different conditions. It lowers the activation energy required for the reaction to occur, allowing it to happen more quickly or at a lower temperature or pressure. The catalyst itself remains unchanged in the reaction and can be reused multiple times.
How does a catalyst function?
In chemistry, they can work by adsorption (although there are other methods). This is when the catalyst attaches itself to the reactant particles and then weakens the bond between them, making it easier to react, thus 'lowering the activation energy' (the energy required for a reaction to start).
Where are catalysts used?
To make a reaction faster. It basically just speeds up chemical reactions.

Why a catalyst is not considered a reactant or product in chemical reaction?
A catalyst is unchanged by the reaction, and remains as it was. It causes the start of the reaction, but is still there AFTER the reaction. Example- the catalytic converter on an automobile exhaust contains platinum metal. This causes a chemical reaction to take place in the exhaust gasses, but the metal remains in the converter, and is not consumed.

What does not appear in a net ionic equation because it remains unchanged in the chemical reaction?
Spectator Ions. YEA BUDDY!
How much catalyst remains at the end of a catalysed reaction?
All the catalyst remains as it is not incorporated into the reaction products, it just speeds up the reaction time.
Why is there no colour change when hydrogen peroxide and potassium iodide reacts?
Potassium Iodide, is a catalyst and so remains unchanged in the reaction. The hydrogen peroxide decomposes into water and oxygen, both of which are colorless.
What is the quantity of matter in a unit volume is called?
A substance that cause or speeds up a chemical reaction while the substance itself remains unchanged
What happens to the manganese in the oxygen generation experiment?
It just acts as a catalyst, so it remains unchanged in the end.
Is when it remains unchanged in the presence of nitrogen chemical or physical?
When something remains unchanged in the presence of nitrogen is it a physical change?
