umm no. they are opposites. a catalyst will speed up a reaction and an inhibitor will slow it down.

What is the purpose of an inhibitor in a chemical reaction?
The inhibitor interferes with the catalyst in a chemical reaction.
What is a substance that slows down or stops a chemical reaction?
an inhibitor
What is a substance that helps chemical reactions?
A substance that helps chemical reactions is called a catalyst. It speeds up the rate of a reaction by providing an alternative pathway with lower activation energy. Catalysts are not consumed in the reaction and can be used repeatedly.
Which Catalyst used in manufacture of sulfuric acid?
the widely used catalyst is V2O5 .
What is the catalyst for ammonia?
In the production of ammonia, Iron is used as a catalyst
Is lemon juice catalyst or inhibitor?
Lemon juice can be used as catalyst in organic chemistry.
What material is used to decrease the rate of a reaction?
An "inhibitor" (aka negative catalyst) slows or blocks a chemical reaction. In some cases this can also be called a deterrent or a retardant. The term anticatalyst(anti-catalyst) refers to blocking the action of a catalyst.
What is the relationship between a catalyst and an inhibitor?
A catalyst speeds up a reaction and an inhibitor slows down a reaction
What is the difference between an inhibitor and catalyst?
Catalyst speeds up reactions, and inhibitors are used to slow down reactions.
What is the opposite of a catalyst?
In chemistry it is Inhibitor
What is the purpose of an inhibitor in a chemical reaction?
The inhibitor interferes with the catalyst in a chemical reaction.
Is inhibitor and negative catalyst are same things?
A negative catalyst is added to a reaction to slow down a process as does an inhibitor. From this you could say that they are equivalent.
What is the difference between a catalyst and an inhibitor?
Catalyst: a substance which promote and help a chemical reaction. Inhibitor: a substance which greatly reduces the rate of a chemical reaction.
What is the opposite reaction of a Catalyst?
The opposite of a catalyst is an inhibitor, something that suppresses or slows a reaction.
The difference between catalyst and inhibitor?
A catalyst lower the activation energy (speeds up the reaction) while an inhibitor increases the activation energy (slows it down).
What is the name of a catalyst that slows a chemical reaction?
inhibitor
What is a substance that slows down or stops a chemical reaction?
an inhibitor
