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 catalyst is a substance that makes chemical reactions happen faster. They don't affect the outcome of the reaction, only the time in which it happens.

the catalyst alter the rate of a reaction and remain unchanged after thecompletion of reaction. the positive catalyst increase the rate of reaction while negative decreases.

What is ture of a catalyst?

It is true that a catalyst is used in chemical reactions to help speed up the reaction by reducing activation energy.


Is it true or false catalysts speed chemical reactions but are not changed by them?

True. That's one of the reasons you use them.


What causes molecules to change?

I think this refers to catalysts as these are considered not to be changed by a reaction-- sometimes this true when molecules react on the surface of a catalyst bu sometimes the catalyst does get involved in the chemical reaction- but is regenerated.


What does a catalyst do in 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.


CFCs are the catalyst in the destruction of Ozone. true or false?

CFC's are catalysts. They fasten the rate of 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.
