A lot of homework questions, today. I wouldn't answer but the questions are always written poorly due to teachers not understanding their subject matter.

Your teacher probably wants you to say "An enzyme."

An example sentence with catalyst in it?

A catalyst is a substance that helps a chemical reaction happen faster without suffering any change. An example sentence is: Because of the catalyst, the project ending early.


What does biological catalyst mean?

Enzymes are biological catalysts. This means they speed up a chemical reaction, but are not broken down or changed by it. They lower the amount of energy required for a chemical reaction to tack place.


What ways can a catalyst affect a chemical reation?

A catalyst affects a reaction by speeding it up. A catalyst, remember, does not participate as a reactant or product in the reaction. It facilitates the reaction by lowering its activation energy, making the reaction easier to happen.


How is a catalysts different from a reactant?

A catalyst is a substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction without being consumed in the process, while a reactant is a substance that participates in a chemical reaction and is consumed. Essentially, a catalyst speeds up a reaction without being changed itself, while a reactant is consumed during the reaction.


What is a biological catalist?

A biological catalyst is a substance, typically a protein (such as an enzyme), that increases the rate of a chemical reaction within a living organism. Biological catalysts work by lowering the activation energy required for a reaction to occur, thus speeding up the process. This enables essential biological processes to occur efficiently in cells and organisms.

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).

I don't know what a catalyst is. (That's my sentence XD)

What is the catalytic efficiency formula used to calculate the effectiveness of a catalyst in a chemical reaction?

The catalytic efficiency formula is calculated by dividing the rate of the reaction with the catalyst by the rate of the reaction without the catalyst. This ratio helps determine how effective the catalyst is in speeding up the reaction.

What is the substance that changes the rate of chemical reactions without being changed called?

A substance that changes the rate of a chemical reaction without being consumed is called a catalyst. Catalysts work by lowering the activation energy required for the reaction to occur, thereby speeding up the reaction process.

How does a catalyst change the rate of a chemical reaction?

Lowers the activation energy of a reaction, therefore speeding the reaction up.Catalysts speed up chemical reactions. They do not change the products or reactants of the reaction, and are not used up or consumed in the reaction. Biological catalysts are called enzymes. Catalysts lower the activation energy (or energy needed to start a reaction), and cause the reaction to occur more quickly.

What do you call a substance speeding up a chemical process?

if at the end of the chemical THAT substance is unchanged .That substance is a catalyst. If it slows donw the reaction, it is called an inhibitor.


What type of biochemical molecule is an enzyme?

An enzyme is a type of protein that acts as a biological catalyst, speeding up chemical reactions in living organisms.
