That's just the way it is you chince deal with it
in 1838 was too busy to finish a reaction and because he was in a hurry he chinced the reaction and randomly added Pt. that's how he discovered that Pt was a catalyst through chincing
yes, yes I still remember that fine evening on September 30th 1838. we were busy chincing notes in a local geography class when a fellow greaser figured out that Pt was used as a catalyst. This phenomenon left us feeling great and ready to release some loads.
kid all u gotta know is some greasers heated out and instead of using the normal catalyst copper they chinced some pt and substituted it.

What is a chemical catalyst?
Pt
Why is platinum used in a catalyst?
One of the compound of Pt that is used as an anti cancer drug is cis platin ie; Pt(NH3)2Cl2. In this compound the two NH3 groups are on same side by which they can link to the nitrogen bases in the DNA of the malignant cell and can prevent their proliferation.
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.
What catalyst is used to speed up a reaction but is not used up in the reaction?
Anything that acts that way is a catalyst. It is the definition.
Is starch a catalyst?
starch can be used as support. homogeneous metal catalyst can be immobilised on starch.
What is a chemical catalyst?
Pt
Can pt and pd be used in the hydrogenation of alkenes?
Pt and Pd can be used as catalyst in the hydrogenation of alkenes or (de)hydrogenation of hydrocarbons (cracking in petrol industry)
What does Pt over an arrow stand for in chemical equations?
Platinum, Pt, is a catalyst used to promote the reaction. Without the Pt, the reaction is very very slow or does not occur. Platinum is a true catalyst and is not part of the reaction. The catalytic converter in automobiles is an example. The platinum is not consumed, but promotes the breakdown of harmful gases in exhaust to less harmful gasses.

What is code P0431 on a Chrysler pt cruiser?
It is catalyst efficiency warm up failure bank two. The problem is a PT Cruiser only has one bank.
How are unsaturated hydrocarbon converted into saturated hydrocarbon?
Through hydrogenation in the presence of the catalyst Pt/Pd/Ni .
What is a catalyst only used in photosynthesis?
Chlorophyll is the catalyst that is used in the process of photosynthesis.
Which Catalyst used in manufacture of sulfuric acid?
the widely used catalyst is V2O5 .
Can you reuse the used catalyst?
Yes. it is a part of recycling of catalyst.
What is the catalyst for ammonia?
In the production of ammonia, Iron is used as a catalyst

What is the symbol of catalyst?
you cannot. A catalyst is not a single substance, any chemical reaction can have many different catalysts. Usually these are (different) enzymes, but for instance metal ions or metalic particles can act as catalysts too. Otherwise, you can find catalysts at the chemists.
