Activation Energy
The minimum energy required for a reaction to occur
How does a Catalyst Increase the Rate of a Reaction?
It provides an alternative route of lower activation energy for a reaction to occur
What does the Area under a Maxwell-Boltzmann Distribution Curve Represent?
The number of molecules
Why does a Maxwell-Boltzmann Distribution Curve Start at the Origin?
No molecules have no energy
Catalyst
A substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction but remains unchanged
