These are called catalysts.
These are called catalysts.
A catalyst is a substance that speeds up a chemical reaction by lowering the activation energy needed for the reaction to occur, without being consumed or permanently altered in the process.
It is called a reactant. While catalysts participate in reaction dynamics, they are not permanently changed in the process.
No. Enzymes are not permanently changed in the chemical reactions in which they are involved. After the reaction, they regain their original shape and are free to catalyze another of the same reaction.
A substance that undergoes change in a chemical reaction is called a reactant.
A substance that accelerates a chemical reaction but is not consumed in the process is called a catalyst. Catalysts work by lowering the activation energy required for a reaction to proceed, thus speeding up the reaction without being permanently changed or used up themselves.
No. Enzymes are not permanently changed in the chemical reactions in which they are involved. After the reaction, they regain their original shape and are free to catalyze another of the same reaction.
A Catalyst.From wikipedia: "Catalysis is the process in which the rate of a chemical reaction is increased by means of a chemical substance known as a catalyst. Unlike other reagents that participate in the chemical reaction, a catalyst is not consumed by the reaction itself. The catalyst may participate in multiple chemical transformations."http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catalyst
A catalyst speeds up reactions by lowering the activation energy required for the reaction to occur. The concentration of the catalyst does not change and it is neither part of the reactants nor products; it is an intermediate.
chemical reaction is when a substance is changed chemicaly but not physicaly
You think probable to the reactants.
* 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.
