Question

Explain the effect of catalyst on activation energy

Answer 1

Hey.

Here is the answer.

Catalysts provide a new reaction pathway in which a lower A.E. is offered.

A catalyst increases the rate of a reaction by lowering the activation energy so that more reactant molecules collide with enough energy to surmount the smaller energy barrier.

Thanks .

Answer 2

heya........


Depending on the type it will either lower or raise the activation energy, food preservatives are a catalyst that raise the energy to such a point where food does not go bad, but most lower the activation energy by providing a different pathway for the reaction to occur
