Sketch a qualitative reaction energy diagram for a chemical reaction with and without a catalyst. Assume the uncatalyzed reaction is exothermic. Note: Because the sketches are only qualitative, the energies in them don't have to be exact. They only have to have the right relationship to each other. For example, if one energy is less than another, that fact should be clear in your sketch.

Products have lower PE because product bonds are stronger than reactants b.) Products have higher PE because product bonds are weaker than reactants c.) Products have lower PE because product bonds are weaker than reactants d.) Products have higher PE because product bonds are stronger than reactants
Select all of the correct statements about reaction rates from the choices below. 1. The lower the rate of a reaction the longer it takes to reach completion.2. The rate of a slow step has more effect on the overall reaction rate than the rate of a fast step.3. Reaction rates decrease with increasing temperature.4. As a reaction progresses its rate goes down.5. Solid catalysts increase reaction rates as their surface areas increase.6. The rate of a reaction is independent of temperature.7. Reaction rates can show little change as masses of solid reactants increase.
Determine the ion pairs for each reactant followed by the new ion pairs for the products. Enter a separate ion (with chemical symbol/formula and charge) into each blank in this order:Li2SO3 (aq) + HNO3 (aq)
When the concentrations of reactant molecules are increased, the rate of reaction increases. The best explanation for this is that as the reactant concentration increases, the activation energy increases. the frequency of molecular collisions increases. the average kinetic energy of molecules increases. the rate constant increases.
