    Catalyst reactions

     A catalyst is a substance that can be added to a


    reaction to increase the reaction rate without
    getting consumed in the process.

    In many chemical experiments, to increase reaction speed, you have to add special substances
    – catalysts. They take part in processes as intermediaries, without becoming part of the final
    substances, remaining unchanged. At the same time their presence, because of their involve-
    ment in the intermediary stages of reaction, helps new substances to appear, speeding up the
    reaction by many times with a minimum energy loss.

    So the presence of a catalyst is like a “side maneuver” in an experiment, when reagent sub-
    stances do not want to interact or do so too slowly.

    A distinction is made between homogenous (when the state, structure of reagents and catalyst
    are homogenous) or heterogeneous catalysts. Reactions of solid substances are always hetero-
    geneous.

    You can see an example of a heterogeneous reaction at home by burning sugar (without a cat-
    alyst a sugar cube simply caramelizes). To make the experiment, cover the sugar cube in ash
    (this is the catalyst in this case) and set fire to it.

    С₁₂Н₂₂О₁₁(sugar) + 12О₂ → 12СО₂ + 11Н₂О

    For each reaction, different types of catalysts must be used:

    acid;
    alkali;
    metal oxides;
    gases;
    complex organic compounds (many catalyst reactions take place in our body, and the catalysts
    are called enzymes);
    water;
    sand.

    The potassium iodide is added, and the iodide ion that's part of that compound attracts the
    oxygen in the hydrogen peroxide, breaking the bonds and rapidly transforming the hydrogen
    peroxide into water and oxygen gas. The oxygen molecules then get trapped by the soap,
    forming bubbles
