Interpretation:
The effect of a catalyst on the each of the given factors has to be briefly commented.
Concept introduction:
Activation energy: The minimum energy required for the collision to be effective for the colliding molecules is said to be activation energy. Activation energy plays an important role in
Reaction: Substances which are mutually involved each other in a chemical process and changed into different substances.
Mechanism of a reaction: The representation of step by step process involved in the chemical process is said to be mechanism of a
Enthalpy: In
Rate of reaction: It represents the speed at which a chemical reaction runs. How much concentration of reactants consumed and how much concentration of product formed in a unit of time is said to be rate of reaction.

- Which reaction mechanism assumptions are unimportant in describing simple ionic reactions between cations and anions? Why?arrow_forwardBy which of the following mechanisms does a catalyst operate? a. It decreases the activation energy barrier for a reaction. b. It serves as a reactant and is consumed. c. It increases the temperature of a reaction. d. It increases the concentration of reactants.arrow_forwardIf AB is exothermic, how does the activation energyfor the forward reaction compare with the activationenergy for the reverse reaction (AB) ?arrow_forward
