Why is a catalyst not counted as a stoichiometric reactant?
AIt is regenerated overall
BIt is always present as a gas
CIt carries no atoms to balance
DIt reacts only at high pressure
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. It is regenerated overall
A catalyst reacts in one step and is regenerated in another, so it does not appear as consumed in the overall reaction.
