These are all pictured here, it is describing the energy state for a reaction. http://images.absoluteastronomy.com/images/encyclopediaimages/a/acactivation_energy.svg.png Free energy refers to the Gibbs energy for a reaction, this is what tells us if the reaction will take place. It is defined as the difference of energy (y-axis) between the initial and final. In order for the reaction to be spontaneous, the final energy state must be lower than the initial. Activation energy is the amount of energy that must be introduced into the system in order to begin the activation. On the graph, it is the peak. The graph does not have any transition species, but if did they would be denoted by other "hills" in the curve, between the activation and final states.
A catalyst actually decreases the activation energy of a reaction in 2 ways: 1) By a process called adsorption, it attracts the molecules of the reactants to its surface so that they are closer together and can react more easily by colliding more successfully. 2) It creates a transition state, which is an inter mediate state before the final reaction occurs, which creates an intermediate, unstable compound using the catalyst itself. By the time the final product is formed, a new product as well as the original catalysy are remaining and the activation energy is considerably reduced.
Its final velocity will be zero when it reaches maximum potential energy.

Kinetic energy is equal to potential energy during the change

The initial reaction is required to be subtracted from the final reaction to get the net reaction.
exergonic reaction is a chemical reaction that releases free energy. its final state is less than its initial state. while the endergonic reaction is a chemical reaction that absorbs free energy from its surroundings. in this process, the initial state is less than its final state. it does not occur spontaneously.
Adding a catalyst will make the reaction happen faster because the catalyst makes the Activation Energy (the energy required for the reaction to take place) to lower. Meaning more molecules can acquire this lower number of energy. A chemical reaction that involves a catalyst is a special type. A catalyst, in a given chemical reaction, is something that is both an input *and* an output of the reaction equation. What that means, practically, is that a small amount of catalyst is enough to process any amount of the other inputs. (More catalyst means that a given amount will be processed faster.)

* Reactants: the initial compounds in a chemical reaction. * Products: the final compounds in a chemical reaction. * Catalyst: a chemical compound which help the chemical reaction but not react with the other compounds.
Final velocity v = u + at

Final velocity = (Initial velocity) + (time)(acceleration)
-2820 kJ APEX
Then you are determining the object's average acceleration (provided the initial and final speed are in the same direction).
Its final velocity will be zero when it reaches maximum potential energy.
