Answer:
Explanation:
Activation energy is the minimum amount of energy needed for a reaction to take place. Think of it as an entrance fee to a party. Increasing temperature refers to adding heat. Since heat is considered a form of energy, increasing the amount of heat means to increase the amount of energy available in the system. This allows for more successful reactions to take place. Activation energy can’t be altered by temperature. Catalysts are molecules that speed up reactions. Catalysts reduce the activation energy of reactions so that more successful reactions can occur without increasing the temperature.
