Rate of reaction - All about factors!

The following was some activities carried out by my students doing "Catalyst factor on Rate of Reaction".









The presence of catalyst will lower the activation energy of a reaction, but at the same time, make sure you all remember that there is no increase in frequency of collision.

The increase of rate of reaction is caused by the lowering of activation energy in the reaction.
Therefore, there is an increase in frequency of effective collision in the reaction.
