No, increasing concentration of a reactant simply allows for more of a reaction to take place as there will be more molecules present for collisions to happen. Although increasing the volume probably would yield more of a product.
The same is true for catalysts higher concentration = more collisions (look up collision theory) although the catalyst does not get used up, simply regenerates.

Enzymes are catalysts. How do enzymes increase the reaction rate?
Enzymes are natural catalysts, these natural catalysts speed up reactions.
Do catalysts decrease or increase energy required to begin a reaction?
Catalysts decrease activation energy.
Why are catalyst important in industry?
Catalysts increase the reaction speed without being used or changed in the process. This means they can be reused at no extra cost. Some catalysts are necessary in order for some reactions to produce a sufficient amount of a product, such as ammonia in the Haber process. However, it does not shift the equilibrium rate.
If a maximum reation rate rate is 350 molecules product minute list 2 things that can increase the product rate?
In general, chemical reaction rates can be increased by the use of catalysts, and often by increasing the temperature.
How is a catalysts different from a reactant?
a catalyst can affect the rate of a reaction. speeding it up.
When a reaction is catalysed by a positive catalyst then product increase or not?
Yes, the product increases because positive catalysts increase the rate of the reaction.
Catalysts speed chemical reactions but are not change by them?
True. A catalysts job is to increase the rate of reaction, but it must do so without (a) being changed by the reaction or (b) become incorporated into the final product.
How would you adjust the temperature to increase the amount of product?
Increasing the temperature would shift the equilibrium to the right and increase the amount of product.
Enzymes are catalysts. How do enzymes increase the reaction rate?
Enzymes are natural catalysts, these natural catalysts speed up reactions.
Why are catalysts so destructive to the stratospheric ozone layer?
Catalysts increase the rate of depletion. They increase the efficiency of compounds depleting ozone.
What leads to the increase in the rate of a chemical reaction?
Many things lead to an increase in the rate of chemical reactions. These factors include: - Addition of Catalysts - Light (only in some reactions) - Increase in temperature - Increase in Pressure - Increase in amount of reactants

What catalysts the amount of activation energy needed?
Using catalysts the activation energy is lowered.
Are substances that increase the rate of a chemical reaction.?
