3 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
Define activation energy.
Think about the energy needed for a reaction to start.
What role does a catalyst play in a chemical reaction?
What substance helps reactions happen faster?
What does activation energy represent in a chemical reaction?
Think about the energy needed to start a fire.
True or False: A catalyst is used up in a reaction.
Does it disappear after speeding up the reaction?
Consider a reaction A + B → C. Discuss how increasing the temperature influences the rate of this reaction in terms of activation energy and particle collisions.
What happens when you heat both reactions - think of the results.
Explain how a catalyst transforms a reaction profile graph to lower the activation energy and the practical implications of this in an industrial setting.
