Enzyme slow down a reaction while catalyst speed up reactions. Enzyme contain a zinc content which makes it a metal, as well as catalyst; so that is one example of their simularities.
Nickel
so the similarity is that they both speed up the reaction and both have special temperatures they best work at the only difference between them is that enzymes are found in humans and are not made by humans on particular purpose,whereas chemical catalysts are made by people and are not naturaly developed
The term catalyst is much more general than the term hardener, since hardening is only one of endless numbers of processes which can be catalysed. A hardener, therefore, would be a specific type of catalyst.
A reactant is consumed in a reaction to make products. A catalyst is not consumed during the reaction. It is either not directly involved in the reaction or regenerated upon the end of the reaction. This is the main difference. In addition, catalysts work by decreasing the activation energy for the reaction, allowing the reactants to react more easily.
The difference between a homogeneous and a heterogeneous catalyst is that in a heterogeneous catalyst, it is in a different phase from the reactants. However, in a homogeneous catalyst, it is in the same phase as the reactants.
The heterogeneous catalyst is not mixed with the reactants.
Catalyst speeds up reactions, and inhibitors are used to slow down reactions.
There is no difference. An enzyme is a natural catalyst. Catalysts speed up the rate of reaction without being used up itself.
Catalyst: a substance which promote and help a chemical reaction. Inhibitor: a substance which greatly reduces the rate of a chemical reaction.
A catalyst lower the activation energy (speeds up the reaction) while an inhibitor increases the activation energy (slows it down).
Enzyme slow down a reaction while catalyst speed up reactions. Enzyme contain a zinc content which makes it a metal, as well as catalyst; so that is one example of their simularities.
The substances which increase the rate of a chemical reaction are called a Positive Catalyst whereas The substances which decrease the rate of a chemical reaction are called Negative Catalyst. Positive Catalyst decreases the Activation energy of reactant molecules whereas negative catalyst increases the Activation energy of the reactant molecules. Positive Catalyst is also called the Promoter whereas negative catalyst is also called Inhibitor.
enzymes and catalyst both are the substance which increase the rate of reaction several 100 to 1000 times. Both are specific in temprature and for substratethe only difference between them is that enzymes are found in livingbeings or we can say that enzymes are biological catalyst
