Question
Explain with the help of a potential energy diagram that the catalyst increases the rate of the reaction.
Advertisements
Solution
- A catalyst provides alternative pathway associated with lower activation energy.
Potential energy barriers for catalyzed and uncatalyzed reactions - The potential energy diagram compares the potential energy barriers for the catalysed and uncatalysed reactions. The barrier for uncatalysed reaction (Ea) is larger than that for the same reaction in the presence of a catalyst Ea.
- Consider the decomposition of H2O2 in aqueous solution catalysed by I− ions \[\ce{2H2O_{2(l)} ->[I-] 2H2O_{(l)} + O_{2(g)}}\]
At room temperature, the rate of reaction is slower in the absence of catalyst with its activation energy being 76 kJ mol−1. In the presence of catalyst, iodide ion (I−), the reaction is faster since the activation energy decreases to 57 kJ mol−1.
