What is a A substance that speeds up a chemical reaction without being permanently changed itself?

This is a catalyst. A catalyst doesn't get destroyed during the reaction. Rather it's more of a reaction site where two substances can combine. One example of a catalyst is amyl alcohol, which can be used to produce pure potassium metal. However, it's destroyed during the process if there are impurities in the reaction because it's consumed in other reactions. Other examples of catalysts include catalase, platinum, and manganese(IV) oxide.


How does a catalyst speed a reaction at low temperature?

A catalyst reduces the amount of energy required to produce the reaction. This speeds up the reaction and causes it to finish more quickly. Raising the temperature will also speed up a reaction.


Will a oxygen gas mixed with hydrogen gas produce substance?

If there is a source of activation energy, or in the presence of an active catalyst, these elements will react to produce water.


Reaction between alcohol and fehling's solution?

a red precipitate is formed which indicates the presence of aldehyde.


Does the body have to continuously produce enzymes?

The definition of a catalyst is that it is something that speeds up a reaction without being used up itself. Therefore every reaction that takes place in the body that requires a catalyst/enzyme will do so, but the catalyst will remain intact at the end. Therefore the body does not have to keep making enzymes all the time. It only needs to replace the ones that are oxidized or otherwise degraded. (A catalyst can also slow down a reaction.)


Why sulfuric acid is not used while reaction of alcohol with KI?

In the presence of sulphuric acid (H2SO4), KI produces HI Since is an oxidizing agent, it oxidizes HI (produced in the reaction to I2). As a result, the reaction between alcohol and HI to produce alkyl iodide cannot occur. Therefore, sulphuric acid is not used during the reaction of alcohols with KI. Instead, a non-oxidizing acid such as H3PO4 is used.


Describe what the habor procces does?

The Haber process is the reaction between nitrogen and hydrogen to produce ammonia. An Iron Catalyst is used. The reaction is reversible, so is quite complicated to maintain.


A dehydration reaction occurring between two primary alcohol molecules will produce what?

aldehyde


Do catalyst produce chemical reactions?

yes chemical reactions in order to induce a chemical reaction that might normally take a long time


Is a magnesium metal a catalyst?

Iron is one of the magnetic metal. It is used as a catalyst in Haber process to produce ammonia N2 + 3H2 ----------- 2NH3


What happens when you mix platinum oxygen and sulfur dioxide?

The Oxygen (O2) and the Sulfur Dioxide (SO2), in the presence of platinum, form sulfur trioxide (SO3) which will react with water (H2O) to produce sulfuric acid (H2SO4).Though the platinum is not used in the reaction, nor is it affected, it is a catalyst required for the reaction to take place.O2 + 2SO2 --> 2SO3SO3 +H2O --> H2SO4


Is yeast a substrate?

Yeast is a living organism that causes fermentation in flour to produce CO2 and alcohol. The carbon dioxide is what causes the mixture to rise.
