Many chemical reactions can be sped up by raising the ambient temperature.
A catalyst increases the rate of a chemical reaction by providing an alternative pathway with lower activation energy. It does not change the equilibrium state or the overall thermodynamics of the reaction. This allows the reaction to proceed faster without being consumed in the process.
A catalyst speeds up the rate of a chemical reaction by lowering the activation energy needed for the reaction to occur. In the case of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction, the enzyme serves as a biological catalyst, allowing the reaction to occur more efficiently and at lower energy levels than it would without the enzyme.
The presence of a catalyst affects the activation energy of a reaction by lowering the activation energy, helping the reaction go faster and making it so the reaction does not have to use as much energy to fulfill the products.
A catalyst is represented in a chemical reaction by placing it above the arrow in the reaction equation. This shows that the catalyst is not consumed in the reaction and only speeds up the reaction rate without being permanently changed.
The term catalyst is much more general than the term hardener, since hardening is only one of endless numbers of processes which can be catalysed. A hardener, therefore, would be a specific type of catalyst.
A catalyst can improve the reaction rate or allows the realization of a chemical reaction with an energy lower than the activation energy.

A catalyst. There are two types of catalyst: * Homogenous: a catalyst in the same state (i.e. solid, liquid, gas) as the reactants. * Heterogenous: a catalyst in a different state than the reactants

A catalyst functions to speed up a chemical reaction without being used up in the reaction, meaning that a catalyst can be used more than once.
A Catalyst.From wikipedia: "Catalysis is the process in which the rate of a chemical reaction is increased by means of a chemical substance known as a catalyst. Unlike other reagents that participate in the chemical reaction, a catalyst is not consumed by the reaction itself. The catalyst may participate in multiple chemical transformations."http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catalyst

Adding a catalyst will make the reaction happen faster because the catalyst makes the Activation Energy (the energy required for the reaction to take place) to lower. Meaning more molecules can acquire this lower number of energy. A chemical reaction that involves a catalyst is a special type. A catalyst, in a given chemical reaction, is something that is both an input *and* an output of the reaction equation. What that means, practically, is that a small amount of catalyst is enough to process any amount of the other inputs. (More catalyst means that a given amount will be processed faster.)
In Biology, a catalyst is a substance which speeds up a chemical reaction, without being changed themselves. Biological catalysts are found in living organisms.
Catalyst
A precatalyst is a chemical compound that can be converted into an active catalyst through a chemical reaction or activation step. It is typically used in catalytic processes to initiate the catalytic cycle and enhance the efficiency of the catalyst.
