Energetics and Kinetics · Thermodynamics

Collision Theory and Catalysis

Exploring how temperature, concentration, and catalysts influence the frequency and energy of collisions.

Key Questions

  1. 1How does a catalyst provide an alternative reaction pathway with lower activation energy?
  2. 2Why does a small increase in temperature lead to a large increase in reaction rate?
  3. 3What is the significance of the Maxwell Boltzmann distribution in understanding reaction rates?
