Catalyst and Intermediates

Under the collision theory, the particles must collide with  ____ and ____ for a reaction to occur.

• sufficient rate and sufficient energy
• sufficient surface area and correct orientation
• sufficient catalyst and sufficient energy
• sufficent energy and correct orientation

How do we identify an Intermediate?

• Formed during the reaction, and used up again later

• Formed during the reaction and unused later

• Is always at the start (reactants) and the end (products) of the mechanism

• All reactions with low activation energy

How do we identify a catalyst in a mechanism?

• It's used up and reformed again

• It's used up

• It's just in the products

• It's formed during the reaction and used up in a later step

What kind of reaction is this?

• Endothermic
• Exothermic
• Cannot be determined
