The Arrhenius equation can be written as:
k = Ae-fa
Consider a reaction with some activation energy that we will call Ea1. Suppose a catalyst is added to the reaction that binds to the transition state and lowers the activation
energy to a new Eg that we can call Ea2. We can define the difference in catalyzed and uncatalyzed activation energies as AE = Ea2-Ea1-
where ky is the rate constant of the reaction without the catalyst, and k2 is the rate constant of the
