Question
Sketch the reaction profile for a reaction having Ea = 50 kJ/mol and (change in)Hrxn = -75 kJ/mol. Suppose that in the presence of a catalyst the activation energy is reduced to 25 kJ/mol. Sketch the reaction profile of the catalyzed reaction on the same sketch you drew for the uncatalyzed reaction. Make sure to label each axis, (change in)H for the reaction, and Ea for the catalyzed and uncatalyzed reactions in both the forward and reverse directions.
