Is a magnesium metal a catalyst?
Iron is one of the magnetic metal. It is used as a catalyst in Haber process to produce ammonia N2 + 3H2 ----------- 2NH3
Is an enzyme a metal?
no, its a catalyst.
Is starch a catalyst?
starch can be used as support. homogeneous metal catalyst can be immobilised on starch.
Which metal is used as a catalyst in the ethylene polymerization?
cobalt
What chemical speeds up a reation but doesnt react itself?
Such chemicals are called as catalysts. Example:- Nickel metal is widely used as a catalyst.

What are the uses of ORe?
Ore, as in rocks which contain sufficient metal to extract and it is economical to do so. Ores include bauxite, a copper ore. Ores can be used to extract precious metals which in turn can be used for electrical wiring, in the case of copper or as a catalyst, in the case of Haematite, Iron ore (the haber process).
Is an enzyme a metal?
no, its a catalyst.
How did the Haber Bosch Process develop during 1905-1920?
•OverviewIn his 1905 book Thermodynamics of Technical Gas Reactions, Haber recorded the production of small amounts of ammonia from N2 and H2 at a temperature of 1000° C with the help of iron as a catalyst. [1] Later he decided to attempt the synthesis of ammonia and this he accomplished after searches for suitable catalysts, by circulating nitrogen and hydrogen over the catalyst (iron plus a few oxides of potassium and aluminum) at a pressure of 150-200 atmospheres at a temperature of about 500° C.In this process, called "heterogeneous catalysis", the "surface" of the solid catalyst is the site of the reaction, in which the initial step involves the dissociation of N2 and H2 on the metal surface. In this state, the dissociated species are not truly free atoms because they are bonded to the metal surface, but are highly reactive. The two reactant molecules are said to "behave differently" on the catalyst surface, in the sense that the desired reaction is facilitated. [2]The successful development of this process resulted in the establishment, with the cooperation of Bosch and Mittasch, of the Oppau and Leuna Ammonia Works, which enabled Germany to prolong the First World War when, in 1914, its supplies of nitrates for making explosives had failed. Modifications of this Haber process also provided ammonium sulphate for use as a fertilizer for the soil. The principle used for this process and the subsequent development of the control of catalytic reactions at high pressures and temperatures, led to the synthesis of methyl alcohol by Alwin Mittasch and to the hydrogenation of coal by the method of Bergius and the production of nitric acid.Haber won the 1920 Nobel Prize in chemistry for this work.

Metal
Which metal is used as catalyst in banaspati ghee formation?
nickel is the catalyst which is used in the formation of banaspati ghee
Why can palladium metal be described as a heterogeneous catalyst?
Because palladium is a solid metal and the reactants are liquids or gases.
Why silver is a noble gas and potassium a reactive element explain using Born-Haber cycle?
1. Silver is not a noble gas. It is a metal that is capable of reacting, 2. Potassium has low electronegativity and consequently is a a very reactive metal. 2. For the Born-Haber cycle see the link below.
What transition metal is in the catalytic converter?
Platinum is used as the catalyst in a catalytic converter, because this is a precious metal they can be very expensive.
