Reduces the activation energy of the reaction, which speeds up the progress of the reaction
It increases the rate of a chemical reaction. However a true catalyst is not consumed in the reaction.

∙ 13y agoA catalyst influences the 'speed' of a chemical reaction, and is not consumed. Therefore you can use it multiple times.
If it 'speeds up' the reaction, it is called a positive catalyst.
It it 'slows it down,' it is called a negative catalyst.

What effect does a catalyst have?
a catalyst has no effect in chemical reaction. it only increases or decreases the rate of the chemical reaction.
Which component is affected when a catalyst is added to a chemical reaction?
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.
What does a catalyst reduce to a chemical reaction?
Adding a catalyst a chemical reaction can occur with a lower activation energy.
What is the substance of a chemical reaction that accelerates?
A catalyst.
What happens to the reaction rate when a catalyst is used in a chemical reaction?
With a catalyst the reaction rate is higher.
What effect does a catalyst have?
a catalyst has no effect in chemical reaction. it only increases or decreases the rate of the chemical reaction.
Why a catalyst is not involved chemically in chemical reaction?
The catalyst is not a reactant; a catalyst only favors a chemical reaction, the reaction rate and yield.
Is catalyst a product of chemical reaction?
No a catalyst is unchanged by a chemical reaction, it does however serve to speed up the rate of the reaction.
Which component is affected when a catalyst is added to a chemical reaction?
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.
What does a catalyst reduce to a chemical reaction?
Adding a catalyst a chemical reaction can occur with a lower activation energy.
What is the substance of a chemical reaction that accelerates?
A catalyst.
Undergo no chemical change during a chemical reaction?
A catalyst doesn't undergo a chemical change during a chemical reaction.
What are products reactants and catalysts?
* Reactants: the initial compounds in a chemical reaction. * Products: the final compounds in a chemical reaction. * Catalyst: a chemical compound which help the chemical reaction but not react with the other compounds.
What happens to the reaction rate when a catalyst is used in a chemical reaction?
With a catalyst the reaction rate is higher.
How does catalyst effect chemical change?
A catalyst alters the rate of a chemical reaction.
Why is a catalyst not a product or a reactant of a chemical reaction?
If a substance is a reactant or product of a chemical reaction then, by definition, it cannot be a catalyst.
