Question

Name the component affected when a catalyst is added to a chemical reaction

Answer 1

Explanation:

During the chemical reaction, the reactants react to form product. When a catalyst is added to a chemical reaction then the reaction becomes faster that means the rate of reaction increases and the activation energy decreases.

Answer 2

Activation Energy :

Activation energy is defined as the minimum amount of energy absorbed by the reactant molecules so that their energy becomes equal to the threshold energy.

During the chemical reaction, the reactants react to form product.

When a catalyst is added to a chemical reaction then the reaction becomes faster that means the rate of reaction increases and the activation energy decreases.

In the given diagram, 'G' is the activation energy without catalyst and 'H' is the activation energy with catalyst.

The Energy Diagram is shown above :-
