They are used to, with an unexpected degree of efficiency, catalyze a specific chemical reaction. This means maximizing harmless and useful chemical-reaction products while minimizing the [inevitable] wasteful and useless byproducts of the chemical reaction.

Do Catalyst speed chemical reactions but are not changed by them?

Yes, catalysts speed up chemical reactions by lowering the activation energy required for the reaction to occur, which allows the reactants to convert into products more efficiently. Importantly, catalysts are not consumed or changed by the reaction; they can be recovered unchanged at the end of the process. This characteristic allows catalysts to be used repeatedly in multiple reaction cycles.
