Energetics and Kinetics · Thermodynamics
Collision Theory and Catalysis
Exploring how temperature, concentration, and catalysts influence the frequency and energy of collisions.
Key Questions
- 1How does a catalyst provide an alternative reaction pathway with lower activation energy?
- 2Why does a small increase in temperature lead to a large increase in reaction rate?
- 3What is the significance of the Maxwell Boltzmann distribution in understanding reaction rates?
