Answer 2

In short, a reagent is any chemical substance that is consumed in a chemical reaction.

In chemical literature you can usually see a distinction between a reactant and reagent. The difference is somewhat vague. Generally, you are trying to modify a molecule in a series of chemical reactions (or steps). The molecule that is being transformed is called reactant, while all other molecules that are necessary for the transformation - reagents.

The remaining participants of a chemical reaction - catalysts or promoters are chemical substances that participate in a reaction, but are not consumed in it, e.g. can be recovered intact once reaction is finished.
