A catalyst
Anything that is added to a chemical reaction that's intended to speed up the reaction - is a catalyst.
The component affected when a catalyst is added to a chemical reaction is the reactants. The purpose of a catalyst is to speed up a reaction.
Substances that are added to a reaction to speed it up are called catalysts. Catalysts work by providing an alternative pathway with lower activation energy for the reaction to occur, thus increasing the rate of the reaction without being consumed themselves.
The catalyst is a substance added to the reaction to speed it up. All in all, thecatalystlowers the reaction rate.
Activation energy is lowered to speed up a chemical reaction.
When a catalyst is added to a chemical reaction, the rate of the reaction will increase without being consumed in the process. This means that the reaction will reach equilibrium faster and require less activation energy. The overall chemical equilibrium and products formed will remain the same.
An outside agent that affects the speed or occurrence of a reaction is called a catalyst. Catalysts work by providing an alternative reaction pathway with lower activation energy, allowing the reaction to happen more quickly. They are not consumed in the reaction and can be used repeatedly.
Catalyst will reduce the activation energy of the reaction, thereby the speed of the reaction (or the rate of the reaction) increases.
A catalyst can speed up a chemical reaction.

A catalyst is used to SPEED up a reaction but doesn't change itself.
