The peak of higher temp. is always further to the right and lower than the peak of lower temp. Higher temp: ↑ average kinetic energy of reactant particlesCollision frequency ↑Proportion of reactant particles that have energy greater than Ea ↑Successful collision frequency ↑
Catalysts lower the Ea by providing an alternative reaction pathway
Catalysts increase the proportion of particles that have energy greater than the minimal energy required for successful collision (Ea)
• Successful collision frequency ↑
