How does catalyst effect chemical change?

A catalyst alters the rate of a chemical reaction.


What effect does a catalyst have?

A catalyst speeds up a chemical reaction by lowering the activation energy required for the reaction to occur. It does so by providing an alternative reaction pathway that requires less energy to initiate the reaction. The catalyst itself remains unchanged at the end of the reaction and can be used over and over again.

What net effect does a chemical reaction have on a catalyst?

None: The catalyst remains unchanged, but the catalyst also speeds up the 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.
