Question
A catalyst decreases the activation energy of a particular exothermic
reaction by 35 kJ/mol, to 38 kJ/mol. Assuming that the mechanism has only
one step, and that the products are 61 kJ lower in energy than the reactants,
sketch approximate energy-level diagrams for the catalyzed and
uncatalyzed reactions.
What is the activation energy for the uncatalyzed reverse reaction?
Answer: 73
The problem is easy if you follow instructions and draw a sketch.
