A material used to increase the rate of a reaction is a...?

catalyst. A catalyst is a substance that increases the speed of a chemical reaction without being consumed in the process.


Is water a catalyst in chemical reactions?

No, water is not a catalyst in chemical reactions. It can act as a solvent or a medium for reactions to occur, but it does not speed up the reaction itself.


What are the substances that increase the rate of a chemical reaction called?

A catalyst can speed up a chemical reaction. Another possible answer in the Biological sense is that Enzymes speed up chemical reactions, but these enzymes are catalysts of the chemical reactions.Different catalysts catalyse different reactions. For example iron is used as a catalyst in the Haber process (manufacture of ammonia).


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.


What does the compound above the arrow mean?

The compound above the arrow in a chemical reaction signifies the catalyst or condition used to facilitate the reaction. It indicates that the reaction requires the presence of that specific compound to proceed or to increase the speed of the reaction.

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 can a chemical reaction be speeded up by?

A catalyst can speed up a chemical reaction.


What is the effect of a catalyst on a chemical reaction?

What it will change adding a catalyst to a chemical reaction?

Adding a catalyst to a chemical reaction can increase the rate of the reaction by providing an alternative pathway with lower activation energy. This allows the reaction to occur more quickly without being consumed in the process. Essentially, a catalyst speeds up the reaction without being permanently changed itself.


What substance that can speed up a chemical reaction outside of our bodies?

A catalyst.A catalyst.


The main function of what is to speed up a chemical reaction?

A catalyst.


What are the salient features of catalyst?

A catalyst alters (usually increases) the speed of a chemical reaction in which there is no net change in the amount of catalyst present after reaction is complete.


Can function to speed up chemical reactions?

A catalyst functions to speed up a chemical reaction without being used up in the reaction, meaning that a catalyst can be used more than once.


Element used to speed up chemical reactions?

Anything that is added to a chemical reaction that's intended to speed up the reaction - is a catalyst.


What is a substance that lowers the activation energy for a chemical reaction but is not changed or used up in the reaction?

This is called a catalyst. In biology, it is referred to as an enzyme (biological catalyst). Catalysts can also be used to speed up or slow down chemical reactions.
