Step 1

A catalyst is a substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction without being consumed in the process. In a reaction diagram, a catalyzed reaction typically has a lower activation energy compared to an uncatalyzed reaction. Show more…

Key Concepts

Catalysis

Catalysis is a process in which a substance called a catalyst increases the rate of a chemical reaction by offering an alternative reaction pathway with a lower activation energy. The catalyst is not consumed in the process, allowing it to participate in multiple reaction cycles and making it an essential concept in understanding reaction mechanisms and efficiency.

Reaction Coordinate Diagrams

Reaction coordinate diagrams are graphical representations that depict the energy changes during a chemical reaction, including the energy levels of the reactants, intermediates, transition states, and products. These diagrams are crucial for visualizing how catalysts alter the reaction pathway by lowering the activation energy barrier and how this alteration can be identified by comparing pairs of reaction profiles.
