Catalyst: Substances that change the rate of a chemical reaction and themselves remain chemically unchanged after the reaction are called catalysts.

Example:- In the process of manufacturing of ammonia Fe is used as Catalyst.

$N _(2) (g)+ 3H _(2) (g) \huge \rightarrow {}^(Fe)\rightarrow \small{3NH _(3)(g)}$

Note:- there is only one arrow. I was unable to put iron over the arrow ..

One of the most commonly known catalysed reaction is that of Hydrogen Peroxide turning into Water

In this reaction, we can use Potassium Permanganate (KMnO₄) or Palladium (Pd) as a catalyst.

These catalysts helps Hydrogen Peroxide turn into water and oxygen
