The catalyst is not a reactant; a catalyst only favors a chemical reaction, the reaction rate and yield.

A catalyst does no change chemically.


How are the words reactant product chemical reaction and catalyst related?

Reactants: the initial substances in a chemical reaction Products: the final substances in a chemical reaction Catalyst: a stimulator of a chemical reaction, not directly involved in the reaction, remain unchanged


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.


The role of a catalyst?

A catalyst is a substance which alters the rate of a chemical reaction but is chemically unchanged at the end of the reaction. basically it increases or decreases the speed of a chemical or biological reaction, but it does not get itself involved in the reaction. hoped this helped (:


Is catalyst a compound?

No, a catalyst is not a compound itself. A catalyst is a substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction without being consumed in the process. It remains unchanged chemically at the end of the reaction.


Is a catalyst used up in a reaction?

Yes, a catalyst can be re-used, because It is NOT actually used in a chemical reaction. A catalyst will increase the rate of reaction by attracting reactants, but the catalyst is not a reactant. However, the reuse cannot be done indefinitely then, depending on the severity of the reaction conditions, it can be occur a small, but accumulative deactivation of the catalys.


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.


Which component is affected when a catalyst is added to a chemical reaction?

The component affected when a catalyst is added to a chemical reaction is the reactants. The purpose of a catalyst is to speed up a reaction.


What does a catalyst reduce to a chemical reaction?

Adding a catalyst a chemical reaction can occur with a lower activation energy.


When substances chemically combine what do they do?

A chemical reaction occur: the transfer of electrons between elements is involved.


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 is enzyme and active sites?

Enzymes are biochemical catalyst that are chemically proteins. Active site is a place where the enzymatic chemical reaction takes place.
