reaction profile question
concerning the attached picture of a reaction profile which is related to question 7.11 in 7th ed textbook, are the second two bumps higher because a catalyst was introduced after the first step?

Re: reaction profile question
i don't have the 7th edition but if a catalyst is introduced then the activation energy should be lower not higher

Re: reaction profile question
The catalyst is introduced in the step with less activation energy since that is the purpose of the catalyst.
