Reaction Profiles
Reaction Profiles Showing ?H and EA
- Catalysts?provide the reactants another pathway which has a lower activation energy
- By lowering?Ea,?a?greater proportion?of molecules in the reaction mixture have sufficient energy for an?effective collision
- As a result of this, the rate of the catalysed reaction is increased compared to the uncatalyzed reaction
Exam Tip
The activation energy is constant for a particular reaction. Reactions with a low activation energy occur readily as little energy is needed to break the bonds and initiate the reaction.
