a) Draw an energy diagram for the following reaction, whose activation energy is 75 kJ/mol and whose overall energy for the reaction is exothermic. Be sure to label all parts of the graph.
b) How does a catalyst speed up a reaction? Explain and illustrate it on your graph.
H2 (g) + I2 (g) ? 2 HI (g) + heat
Draw an activation diagram and then show how a catalyst speeds up a reaction by lowering the activation energy of a reaction.
