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.

Which industry was considered a catalyst of economic growth during the gilded age?
railroad industry
What is the importance of Ethyltriphenylphosphonium Bromide in Pharmaceutical Industry?
It's used as a catalyst.
Why the adsorption strength of the catalyst is an important factor in determining its success?
When reactants are binding to the surface of the catalyst, it is important that the catalyst is strong enough to allow a reaction to take place, however having a strong catalyst could mean that the products could permenantly bind to the catalyst, which is a problem. So if the catalyst is too strong, the catalyst isnt very sucessful, and if it is too weak, it also isn't sucesful.
