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.


Is catalyst a product of chemical reaction?

No a catalyst is unchanged by a chemical reaction, it does however serve to speed up the rate of the reaction.


Which component is affected when a catalyst is added to a chemical reaction?

The component affected when a catalyst is added to a chemical reaction is the reactants. The purpose of a catalyst is to speed up a reaction.


What effect does a catalyst have?

A catalyst speeds up a chemical reaction by lowering the activation energy required for the reaction to occur. It does so by providing an alternative reaction pathway that requires less energy to initiate the reaction. The catalyst itself remains unchanged at the end of the reaction and can be used over and over again.


How does catalyst effect chemical change?

Why is a catalyst not a product or a reactant of a chemical reaction?

If a substance is a reactant or product of a chemical reaction then, by definition, it cannot be a catalyst.
