In any reaction, a catalyst is never used up or changed. This means that at the end of every reaction you should always get your catalyst back. sometimes in the course of the reaction, the catalyst is used up, but by the end of the reaction it will always be reformed completely.

For a true catalyst ... nothing

However, they can be contaminated, disperced, vaporized, or otherwise lost.

A catalyst is never used up in the process of a chemical reaction so nothing should happen to it.

Which of the following is not true of a catalyst?

A catalyst is a material which make possible a chemical reaction, improve the rate of reaction, increases the yield of the reaction; a catalyst doesn't react with reactants/products.


What substances influence other molecules without being changed themselves?

I think what you are looking for is a catalyst. A catalyst lowers the energy or activation for a reaction, allowing it to happen faster. During the reaction nothing actually happens to or changes the catalyst.


What happens when a biological catalyst is denatured?

The reaction doesn't occur. The enzymes are unfolded and inactivated.


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.


What effect does catalyst on a reaction?

A catalyst speeds up the rate of a reaction.


Is a catalyst used up in 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.
