What parameter involved in a chemical reaction will change with the addition of a catalyst?
The rate of a chemical reaction will change in the presence of a catalyst, unless the reaction is already at equilibrium.
What classification of alcohol undergoes oxidation to yield a ketone?
A secondary alcohol undergoes oxidation to yield a ketone; a primary alcohol forms an aldehyde instead, and a tertiary alcohol usually does not form either a ketone or an alcohol, because the carbon having the OH group in a tertiary alcohol already has three bonds to other carbon atoms and therefore cannot form a double bond to oxygen without more extensive breaking of other bonds in the tertiary alcohol.
Why catalyst does no react with the reactants?
A catalyst is something that speeds up the reaction by providing a more suitable environment for it to occur, but is itself not consumed in the reaction. The simplest answer would be that if it reacted, then by definition, it would be another reactant and no longer considered only a catalyst. The reason the catalyst is not affected can vary, but it could be because it's already in a stable form, stable enough not to be affected with the reactants.
What happens when you mix rubbing alcohol and glue?
There is no reaction, you simply get a mixture of rubbing alcohol and methanol.
Why cant you lit a match after it is already have been lit?
Because the process of producing the flame is a chemical reaction. The reaction can only exist if there are unused chemicals to fuel the change. Once all the chemicals are used up - the reaction stops.

How would the equilibrium concentration of H2O be affected by adding a catalyst to the mixture?
None. A catalyst affects only the rate of reaction, and if the reaction is already at equilibrium, the net rate of the reaction is zero and remains so after a catalyst is added.

Does alcohol increase a drivers reaction time?
Yes, when your mind has been effected by alcohol it tends to slow your thought process down. Surely you know this already.

There is no reaction, you simply get a mixture of rubbing alcohol and methanol.
Can alcohol be melted?
Alcohol is already molten.
Can ethanol dissolve in alcohol?
Ethanol is already an alcohol.
Why is the Cretaceous - Tertiary period also called the K-T period?
K = Cretaceous (C is used for another era already) T = Tertiary
What does a tertiary care hospital mean?
Tertiary in general means third. In a medical context, it could be found in a few uses. The tertiary phase of a disease is the third phase; for example, neurosyphilis is hte tertiary phase of that disease. Tertiary care is highly specialized hospital care. For instance, a burn center or trauma center might be a tertiary care center - a place to which other hospitals transfer patients for more specialized care. Tertiary prevention is concerned with helping people who are already ill to improve their quality of life and minimize disability.
What is the effect of increasing the concentration of enzymes in a reaction?
If the reaction speed has not already peaked, then it will increase
What if you burn methane and methyl alcohol which gives off more heat?
Methane gives off more heat. Burning something is an oxidation reaction. Energy is released by forming more and more bonds between carbon and oxygen. Since methyl alcohol already has a C-O bond, it is already more oxidized than methane, so burning methyl alcohol releases less energy (heat) than burning methane (mole for mole).
