What is a catalyst in a chemical reaction?
Asked by | 9th Apr, 2014, 08:19: PM
Expert Answer:
A catalyst is a substance that speeds up a chemical reaction, without itself taking part in the reaction.
Hence a catalyst can be recovered chemically unchanged at the end of the reaction it has been used to speed up, or catalyze.
