Reactivity 2. How much, how fast and how far? » Reactivity 2.2—How fast? The rate of chemical change » Reactivity 2.2.5—Catalysts increase the rate of reaction by providing an alternative reaction pathway with lower Ea. Sketch and explain energy profiles with and without catalysts for endothermic and exothermic reactions. Construct Maxwell–Boltzmann energy distribution curves to explain the effect of different values for Ea on the probability of successful collisions.
