Chemical reactions occur when chemical bonds between atoms are formed or broken. The substances that go into a chemical reaction are called the reactants, and the substances produced at the end of the reaction are known as the products. An arrow is drawn between the reactants and products to indicate the direction of the chemical reaction, though a chemical reaction is not always a "one-way street," as we'll explore further in the next section.
Catalyst, in
chemistry, any substance that increases the rate of a reaction without itself
being consumed. Enzymes are naturally occurring catalysts responsible for many
essential biochemical reactions.
catalysts
are not consumed during the chemical reaction, whereas reagents may or may be
consumed during a chemical reaction. Catalyst is a substance that can increase
the reaction rate of a particular chemical reaction. Generally, chemical
reactions occur faster when there is a catalyst. It is because this substance
can provide an alternative pathway for the reaction to occur. The alternative
pathway always has a low activation energy than the usual pathway (which occurs
in the absence of catalyst).
Catalyst,
Reagent and Enzymes
Catalyst,
Reagent and Enzymes are all found in any chemical reaction. When at least one
reactant is changing into product, they may experience distinctive alterations
and energy changes. The bonds in reactants are splitting, and forming new bonds
that are distinctive from the original reactants. This sort of modification is
called chemical reaction. In these chemical reactions we may use catalyst,
enzymes or reagent for different purposes.
Reagent
A reagent
defines as a compound or substance inserted to system to bring about a
synthetic reaction, or inserted to test that a reaction happens or not.
Reactant and reagent are mostly used interchangeably.
Catalyst
A catalyst
brings down the vitality hindrance to a response, along these lines making the
reaction go quicker in either course. Catalyst can be characterized as species,
which expands the reaction rate, however stays unaltered. In spite of the fact
that catalyst builds the speed of reaction, it doesn’t influence the
equilibrium. In short catalyst is used for boosting and chemical reaction.
Enzymes
Enzymes can
be defined as macromolecular catalysts. Enzymes catalyzed or quicken the
synthetic reactions. Enzymes are recognized to catalyze 5,000 biochemical
reactions. Most enzymes are proteins. Enzymes’ specificity originates from
their specific three-dimensional arrangement.
