This study guide covers catalysis, focusing on how catalysts speed up reactions. It explains what catalysts are, how they work by lowering activation energy () without changing enthalpy (ĪH), and their role in reaction mechanisms. The guide uses energy diagrams to illustrate the effect of catalysts on and provides practice questions covering multiple-choice and free-response formats.
