1. How does a catalyst work in speeding up a reaction?
A by making them more available B by giving them more energy
By lowering the activation energy or
C
reaction
2. 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 Blue, because the activation energy is
A B
larger lower
C both reaction progress at the same rate
3. Grinding a seltzer tablet into powder increases the rate of reaction due to increased
A reactants B concentration
