What is a substance which helps make a chemical change happen but is not changed itself in the process is called?

Catalyst: a substance which speeds up a chemical change or enables the change to take place at a lower tempature, and is not changed or used up in the reaction.


What is the difference between positive catalyst and negative catalyst?

The substances which increase the rate of a chemical reaction are called a Positive Catalyst whereas The substances which decrease the rate of a chemical reaction are called Negative Catalyst. Positive Catalyst decreases the Activation energy of reactant molecules whereas negative catalyst increases the Activation energy of the reactant molecules. Positive Catalyst is also called the Promoter whereas negative catalyst is also called Inhibitor.


will a catalyst change the enthalpy of a reaction in a chemical reaction?

No, a catalyst will not change reaction enthalpy. If it does so, then it is NOT a catalyst but a reactant in stead!


Can a catalyst change rate of reaction equilibrium position or both?

A catalyst cannot change the equilibrium position. However, it can change its rate.

A substance that speeds up a chemical reaction without undergoing a permanent change itself is?

A substance that speeds up a chemical reaction without undergoing a permanent change itself is called a catalyst. Catalysts work by providing an alternative pathway for the reaction to occur, thereby lowering the activation energy needed for the reaction to proceed. Once the reaction is complete, the catalyst remains unchanged and available to facilitate more reactions.

What substance increases the rate of a reaction but is not itself changed by the reaction?

It's called a catalyst. A catalyst is present during a chemical reaction but does not participate as a reactant or product. A catalyst lowers the reaction's activation energy, making the reaction easier to happen. In the equation for a chemical reaction, the catalyst's formula appears in small notation above the "yield" arrow (format won't let me show you an example.) An example of a catalyst is potassium iodide (KI) speeding up the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2).
