What is a catalyst, and how does it affect the rate of reaction?
A catalyst is a substance which provides an alternative pathway requiring a lower activation energy for the chemicals to react, and speeds up the rate of reaction. A catalyst also remains chemically unchanged at the end of the reaction.
