What is the role of activation energy in catalyzed reactions?

Activation energy in catalyzed reactions is lowered by catalysts, speeding up the reaction without being consumed.

How can one differentiate between endothermic and exothermic reactions?

Endothermic reactions absorb heat energy, while exothermic reactions release heat energy.

Enthalpy change indicates the energy absorbed or released during bond formation and breaking.

Energy profile diagrams depict reactants, products, enthalpy change, and activation energy in reactions.

Bond energy calculations involve determining the energy required to break and form specific bonds in a reaction.

Positive enthalpy change in a reaction signifies that more energy is needed to break bonds than is released during bond formation, indicating an endothermic process where products have higher energy levels than reactants.
Catalysts play a crucial role in accelerating reactions by reducing the activation energy required for the reaction to occur, facilitating faster transformations without being consumed in the process.
