Provided the catalyst is appropriate for the reaction, it will accelerate the reaction. In other words, the reaction will reach equilibrium between reactants and products faster than it would otherwise have done. The catalyst is unchanged, i.e. at the end of the reaction it is in the same chemical state that it was in at the start.
In living systems, the catalysts are made by cells and are called enzymes.
What else can I help you with?
Which would increases the reaction rate?
Temperature
What does a catalyst reduce to a chemical reaction?
Adding a catalyst a chemical reaction can occur with a lower activation energy.
What can reduce the amount of energy needed for a chemical reaction to take place?
adding a catalyst to the reaction
What does a catalyst not do?
Catalysts do not change the postition of the reaction's equilibrium. Adding a catalyst will increase the rate of reaction, but it will do this by providing another pathway for the reaction to occur acros, meaning a lower activation enthalpy is needed. :)
Do catalysts affect temperature?
A catalyst affects the speed of a chemical reaction. If the chemical reaction gives off heat, the reaction may affect the temperature, but the catalyst by itself doesn't affect the temperature.
Which would increases the reaction rate?
Temperature
How would the equilibrium concentration of H2O be affected by adding a catalyst to the mixture?
Adding a catalyst to the mixture would not affect the equilibrium concentration of H2O. A catalyst speeds up the rate of the forward and reverse reactions equally, without changing the position of the equilibrium. This means that the equilibrium concentration of H2O would not be affected by the presence of a catalyst.

How do catalyst and inhibtors affect reaction rate?
A catalyst speeds up the reaction and lowers the amount of heat needed.
The reaction rate of melting ice can be increased by what 1 adding catalyst 2 increasing concentration of the reactant 3 increasing pressure on the reaction 4 none its physical?
adding a catalyst none its physical
How does a catalyst affect the speed of a reaction?
A catalyst enables more particles to reach the activation energy and to take part in the reaction. Therefore the speed of the reaction increases.
How does the presence of a catalyst affect the enthalpy change of a reaction?
The presence of a catalyst affect the enthalpy change of a reaction is that catalysts do not alter the enthalpy change of a reaction. Catalysts only change the activation energy which starts the reaction.
What it will change adding a catalyst to a chemical reaction?
Adding a catalyst to a chemical reaction can increase the rate of the reaction by providing an alternative pathway with lower activation energy. This allows the reaction to occur more quickly without being consumed in the process. Essentially, a catalyst speeds up the reaction without being permanently changed itself.
Why does catalyst affect reaction speed?
The activation energy is reduced.
