  • It's time to learn a little more about a chemical reaction. How do molecules have to be arranged and how much energy do they have to collide with? What's a catalyst? Lots of great tidbits in this one.

Maybe you can simplify the left side of the equation? On the right side, I end up with Ea/-83.15 J/mol, therefore multiplying both sides by the -83.15 J/mol.

  • @S4Kyoto

    Hi, watching this video reminds me of a discussion i had with my teacher. In every book i readed so far i learned that a catalyst gives a other reaction way. My teacher said thats wrong and there are many examples proof that. But actually i dont wanted to piss her of more cause i dont want to loose my A in this class. So i didnt ask for any examples. Can u give me some or is my opinion on catalyst right and my teacher has no idea ? ;)

    • @ProfessorDaveExplains
      @ProfessorDaveExplains  8 лет назад +12

      +Wiz Onio sometimes a catalyst offers an alternate reaction pathway, but not always. for example, an enzyme, which is just a protein that performs some cellular catalytic function, can promote a reaction in some complicated way, or sometimes it just bends a substrate until it's in an energetically unfavorable conformation such that the reaction becomes more favorable. the best definition of a catalyst that applies to every example is that it is something that lowers the activation energy of a reaction.
