Its somthing that speeds up or slows down a chemical reaction (:
Reduces the activation energy of the reaction, which speeds up the progress of the reaction It increases the rate of a chemical reaction. However a true catalyst is not consumed in the reaction.
The substance that slows down a chemical reaction is an inhibitor. Instead you could also call an inhibitor an anticatalyst.-anticatalyst `antee'katlist1. (chemistry) a substance that retards a chemical reaction or diminishes the activity of a catalyst
Exactly the opposite. It SLOWS your reflexes and reaction times.
A positive catalyst is a catalyst which speeds up the rate of a chemical reaction by lowering its activation energy. A negative catalysts slows the rate of a chemical reaction or makes it less likely to occur.
A catalyst speeds up a reaction and an inhibitor slows down a reaction
no it usually slows down
A catalyst provides a reaction pathway with a lower activation energy and so directs the reaction one specific way or accelerates the reaction. An inhibitor blocks a reaction path and so prevents a product or slows down the reaction.
inhibitor
An inhibitor decreases the reaction rate
an inhibitor
negative catalyst.
