Catalysts stay in the same form as it was before the reaction.

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.


What is cataylyst?

A catalyst is something that sparks/causes a reaction. Usually used in reference to a protein being the catalyst for a reaction in biology.

Why catalyst affect the rate of chemical reaction?

They provide alternative pathway for the reaction, usually with less energy barrier


Why a catalyst is not involved chemically in chemical reaction?

The catalyst is not a reactant; a catalyst only favors a chemical reaction, the reaction rate and yield.


What effect does catalyst on a reaction?

A catalyst speeds up the rate of a 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.


What is the opposite reaction of a Catalyst?

The opposite of a catalyst is an inhibitor, something that suppresses or slows a reaction.


What effect does a catalyst having a reaction?

A catalyst speeds up the rate of a reaction.


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!


Does a catalyst decrease the speed of a reaction?

A catalyst lowers the activation energy of a chemical reaction without undergoing any change in mass but may change in color , texture e.t.c <a href="http://linkjacket.com/jk.cgi?i=rMkA9ue&d=www.kentchemistry.com&n=NaN" target="_self">visit kentchemistry.com</a> it can also speed up a reaction. simply a catalyst can change the rate of a reaction, both slow and increase rate


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).
