Best Answer

A catalyst helps speed up a chemical reaction.

For example, a catalyst of acidified dichromate ions or acidified permanganate ions can help speed up the reactions of oxidation of an (alcohol into an aldehyde?) etc.

Catalysts are used for reactions which would usually be of a very slow speed.
