Unlike reactants, catalysts are not used up during a reaction. They merely speed up the reaction (or allow it to proceed).
* Reactants: the initial compounds in a chemical reaction. * Products: the final compounds in a chemical reaction. * Catalyst: a chemical compound which help the chemical reaction but not react with the other compounds.
the reactants and products are different substances
The reactants change & turn into products.
Reactants are what the products are made out of. The products are the end result.
A product of a chemical reaction is the substance that is formed.
* Reactants: the initial compounds in a chemical reaction. * Products: the final compounds in a chemical reaction. * Catalyst: a chemical compound which help the chemical reaction but not react with the other compounds.
The products have different physical and chemical properties than the reactants.
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
A catalyst is a material which make possible a chemical reaction, improve the rate of reaction, increases the yield of the reaction; a catalyst doesn't react with reactants/products.
A chemical change always changes the chemical composition of the reactants to produce products with new and unique properties, different from the reactants.
The reactants
The atoms of the reactants are rearranged to form new products that are different in chemical composition and properties from those of the reactants.
the reactants and products are different substances
reactants ---> products
Reactants are to left and products are to right.
reactants are on the left and the products are on the right
The reactants change & turn into products.
