Catalysts

How does a catlyst effect the reaction curve? I

[AnnaYan_1l]

Catalysts reduce the activation energy between reactants to products, meaning it takes less energy to make the forward reaction occur

[Michelle Wang 4I]

Catalysts work by giving an entirely new pathway for the reaction to occur with a lower activation energy. Therefore, the curve would be lower.

[Rogelio Bazan 1D]

A catalyst brings down the activation energy, effectively increasing the speed at which the reaction occurs. Graphically this would bring down the very top peak on the graph as the activation energy is lowered to make the reaction occur. Hope this helps.

[Jacqueline Duong 1H]

A catalyst would lower the peak on a curve since it can speed up the rate of a chemical reaction by providing a faster route.

[Phil Timoteo 1K]

Catalysts lower activation energy which speeds up rxn.

[sallina_yehdego 2E]

Catalysts lower the curve of the reaction.

[Claudia Luong 4K]

A lower peak would be seen with a catalyst.

[Gillian Ward 1F]

Catalysts lower the activation so it will lower the curve of the reaction.

[Eva Guillory 2E]

[Rosa Munoz 2E]

Catalysts lower the activation energy

[Andres Merlos 2L]

Catalysts reduce the activation energy.

[kristi le 2F]

Catalysts lower the activation barrier, so a greater fraction of reactants can cross the new lower barrier and convert into products.

[Chantel_2I]

The way a catalyst lowers the activation energy is by creating a completely new path to get to the products, which has a lower activation energy.

[CameronDis2K]

A catalyst will lower the activation energy (Ea) in a reaction, causing the curve of the rxn process vs energy graph curve to be lower than without a catalyst.

[805097738]

Catalysts reduce the activation energy between reactants to products, meaning it takes less energy to make the forward reaction occur

does this affect the reverse reaction too?

[JohannaPerezH2F]

the curve is going to be lowered because the activation energy will be lowered
