What are the similarities and difference between enzymes and chemical catalyst?

Answer 1

so the similarity is that they both speed up the reaction and both have special temperatures they best work at

the only difference between them is that enzymes are found in humans and are not made by humans on particular purpose,whereas chemical catalysts are made by people and are not naturaly developed

Answer 2

Enzymes and chemical catalysts both increase the rate of a chemical reaction without being consumed. The main difference is that enzymes are biological catalysts produced by living organisms, while chemical catalysts are typically synthetic or inorganic substances. Enzymes are typically more specific in their action and operate under milder conditions compared to chemical catalysts.

Answer 3

Catalysts are not a reactant or a product in the overall reaction and it is not generated then consumed. They are added to the reaction mixture to increase the rate of reaction.

While intermediates are generated then consumed, but also not in the overall reaction.

Answer 4

the difference is that catalyst can even decrease the rate of the chemical reaction while accelerator always increases it

Answer 5

The catalyst is a substance which improve the rate of a chemical reaction.

A chemical equation is the representation (by letters and numbers) for a chemical process.

Answer 6

Any difference
