Question

A catalyzed reaction will have a _____ activation energy, and this leads to a _____ in the reaction rate.

Answer 1

A catalyzed reaction will have a lower activation energy, and this leads to a increase in the reaction rate.

What is a catalyzed reaction?

• A catalyst can be described as a substance which increases the rate of a reaction.
• Catalyzed reactions occur much faster than a non-catalyzed reaction.
• The catalyst itself remains unchanged in a reaction and increases the rate of the reaction by lowering the activation energy.

Answer 2

Explanation:

A catalyzed reaction will have a lower activation energy, and this leads to a increase in the reaction rate.
