How does a catalyst work in speeding up a reaction?

• By lowering the activation energy or reaction

• by giving them more energy

• by making them more available

The following graph shows two different reaction pathways for the same overall reaction at the same temperature. Which pathway is slower and why?

• Red, because the activation energy is larger
• Blue, because the activation energy is lower
• both reaction progress at the same rate

In an exothermic reaction, heat is ...

• taken in
• given out

Why does a higher concentration increase the rate of reaction?

• it increases the amount of reactants

• it lowers the activation energy

• it increases the energy of particle collisions

• it increases the frequency of particle collisions
