Jul 19, 2021 at 6:26 comment added Nilay Ghosh @Ashish Yes, you are correct with the usage of term "catalytic amount". Any substance or mixture for use in chemical analysis and that causes chemical reaction is called reagent. That also includes catalyst. In this context, "catalyst" should be a better term because it is causing catalysis. I have edited appropriately.

Jul 19, 2021 at 6:06 comment added Ashish I see it written at some places like "catalytic amount of red phosphorous" or other words which suggest "catalyst". I know you've mentioned it as a reagent in your answer, but can you please confirm whether using the word catalyst in this case for red phosphorous is wrong or not?
