No, not normally.
catalyst. A catalyst is a substance that increases the speed of a chemical reaction without being consumed in the process.
negative catalyst.
A catalyst
It's called an inhibitor, and it's the opposite of a catalyst.
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.
An "inhibitor" (aka negative catalyst) slows or blocks a chemical reaction. In some cases this can also be called a deterrent or a retardant. The term anticatalyst(anti-catalyst) refers to blocking the action of a catalyst.
Its a inhibitor.Science worksheet? I just finished it! Lol
The catalyst is not a reactant; a catalyst only favors a chemical reaction, the reaction rate and yield.
A material that increases the rate of a reaction is called a catalyst. Catalysts work by lowering the activation energy required for a chemical reaction to occur, thereby increasing the reaction rate without being consumed in the reaction itself.
A catalyst speeds up the rate of a reaction.
Yes, a catalyst can be re-used, because It is NOT actually used in a chemical reaction. A catalyst will increase the rate of reaction by attracting reactants, but the catalyst is not a reactant. However, the reuse cannot be done indefinitely then, depending on the severity of the reaction conditions, it can be occur a small, but accumulative deactivation of the catalys.
The opposite of a catalyst is an inhibitor, something that suppresses or slows a reaction.
