rate increased with temp. explain why this is the case in terms of collisions
as you increase temperatures, the amount of energy will increase and become greater than the activation energy. this will then increase the number of successful collisions
an example of a catalyst
MNO2 - manganese dioxide
how does a catalyst increase rate of reaction
adding a catalyst will provide a different pathway for a reaction with a lower Ea. Now that the energy is greater than the activation energy, more collisions will occur so the rate will increase
