Reagent Definition: A reagent is a compound or mixture added to a system to cause a chemical reaction or test if a reaction occurs.
The term reagent is often used in place of reactant, but a reagent may not necessarily be consumed in a reaction like a reactant. For example, a catalyst is a reagent, but is not consumed in the reaction.
