Task 2 - Activation energy
Task 2 - Activation energy
A catalyst provides an alternative reaction pathway that has a lower activation energy than the uncatalysed reaction. This does not change the rate of collisions. However, it does increase the rate of successful collisions because a greater proportion of collisions now exceeds this lower activation energy.
The effect of a catalyst on the activation energy is shown on a chart called a reaction profile. This shows how the energy of the reactants and products change during a reaction
Task 3 - Link back
Task 3 - Link back
Link this back to collision theory. Whay is it that reducing the activation energy will increase the rate of reaction?
