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.
The activation energy is reduced.
it speeds up the process :)
A catalyst changes the reaction mechanism to one with a lower activation energy; activation energy is lowered when a catalyst is added
Catalysts doesn't affect the energy of reactions
The catalyst decrease the needed activation energy.
The activation energy is reduced.
yes. lowers it.
it speeds up the process :)
A catalyst changes the reaction mechanism to one with a lower activation energy; activation energy is lowered when a catalyst is added
catalyst will generally reduce the activation energy
Catalysts doesn't affect the energy of reactions
The catalyst decrease the needed activation energy.
The activation energy is decreased by a catalyst.
It lowers it, so the reaction is faster.
It lowers it, so the reaction is faster.
It lowers it, so the reaction is faster.
The presence of a catalyst affects the activation energy of a reaction by lowering the activation energy, helping the reaction go faster and making it so the reaction does not have to use as much energy to fulfill the products.
