What else can I help you with?
What do you think the diagram would look like if a catalyst were added?
If a catalyst were added to a reaction diagram, it would typically be shown as a separate step or pathway with lower activation energy compared to the uncatalyzed reaction. The overall energy profile of the reaction would be shifted downward, indicating that the catalyst lowers the activation energy required for the reaction to proceed, leading to an increased reaction rate.
Does a catalyst make a reaction exothermic?
I honestly think it would because a catalyst lowers the activation energy, the amount of energy needed to complete the reaction. Since the activation energy is lower, it is absorbing less energy. I guess if its becoming less endothermic, its becoming more exothermic. Hope this helped!
What does a reaction energy diagram represent?
A graph of Potential energy Vs time The changes in energy during a reaction <APEX>
What substance increases the rate of a reaction but is not itself changed by the reaction?
It's called a catalyst. A catalyst is present during a chemical reaction but does not participate as a reactant or product. A catalyst lowers the reaction's activation energy, making the reaction easier to happen. In the equation for a chemical reaction, the catalyst's formula appears in small notation above the "yield" arrow (format won't let me show you an example.) An example of a catalyst is potassium iodide (KI) speeding up the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2).
A substance that speeds up a chemical reaction without undergoing a permanent change itself is?
A substance that speeds up a chemical reaction without undergoing a permanent change itself is called a catalyst. Catalysts work by providing an alternative pathway for the reaction to occur, thereby lowering the activation energy needed for the reaction to proceed. Once the reaction is complete, the catalyst remains unchanged and available to facilitate more reactions.
Does the catalyst change the amount of energy released in the reaction?
no. the amount of catalyst does not influence the reaction; A catalyst simply provides an alternative route for the reaction with a lower activation energy.
Would a catalyst cause an endothermic reaction to become exothermic?
No, a catalyst does not change the overall energy of a reaction. It only lowers the activation energy required for the reaction to occur. Therefore, a catalyst cannot change an endothermic reaction into an exothermic one.
What illustrates the changes in a reaction when the catalyst reduces the amount of energy required?
A catalyst lowers the activation energy of a reaction, making it easier for reactants to convert into products. This is illustrated by a potential energy diagram, where the energy barrier for the reaction is reduced in the presence of a catalyst. As a result, the reaction can proceed more quickly and at lower temperatures, without being consumed in the process. Ultimately, this facilitates faster reaction rates while maintaining the same overall energy change for the reaction.
What do you think the diagram would look like if a catalyst were added?
If a catalyst were added to a reaction diagram, it would typically be shown as a separate step or pathway with lower activation energy compared to the uncatalyzed reaction. The overall energy profile of the reaction would be shifted downward, indicating that the catalyst lowers the activation energy required for the reaction to proceed, leading to an increased reaction rate.
How does the presence of a catalyst affect the enthalpy change of a reaction?
The presence of a catalyst affect the enthalpy change of a reaction is that catalysts do not alter the enthalpy change of a reaction. Catalysts only change the activation energy which starts the reaction.
What parameter involved in a chemical reaction will change with the addition of a catalyst?
The rate of a chemical reaction will change in the presence of a catalyst, unless the reaction is already at equilibrium.
Does a catalyst make a reaction exothermic?
I honestly think it would because a catalyst lowers the activation energy, the amount of energy needed to complete the reaction. Since the activation energy is lower, it is absorbing less energy. I guess if its becoming less endothermic, its becoming more exothermic. Hope this helped!
What isn't true of a catalyst?
A catalyst does not alter the equilibrium of a chemical reaction; it only accelerates the rate at which equilibrium is reached. Additionally, a catalyst is not consumed in the reaction, meaning it can be used repeatedly. Furthermore, it does not change the overall energy change (enthalpy) of the reaction; it merely provides an alternative pathway with a lower activation energy.
What is activation energy How does a catalyst affect activation energy?
Activation energy is the energy required by a reaction for the reaction to occur. The catalyst lowers the activation energy, making it easier for the reaction to happen.Improvement:A catalyst don't lowers the activation energy. A catalyst creates a alternative route (*) for the same reaction with a lower activation energy.* = as a result of the interaction of the reagents with the catalyst.
Can a catalyst alone make a nonspontaneous reaction occur spontaneously Explain why or why not.?
No, a catalyst alone cannot make a nonspontaneous reaction occur spontaneously. A catalyst can only speed up the rate of a reaction by lowering the activation energy, but it cannot change the overall thermodynamics of the reaction. In order for a nonspontaneous reaction to occur spontaneously, the reaction must have a negative change in Gibbs free energy (G) value.
How does a catalyst change the rate of a chemical reaction?
Lowers the activation energy of a reaction, therefore speeding the reaction up.Catalysts speed up chemical reactions. They do not change the products or reactants of the reaction, and are not used up or consumed in the reaction. Biological catalysts are called enzymes. Catalysts lower the activation energy (or energy needed to start a reaction), and cause the reaction to occur more quickly.
What will change when a catalyst is added to a chemical reaction?
When a catalyst is added to a chemical reaction, the rate of the reaction will increase without being consumed in the process. This means that the reaction will reach equilibrium faster and require less activation energy. The overall chemical equilibrium and products formed will remain the same.
