I've been researching pem electrolyzers, but still don't understand how to mathematically express how platinum reduces the activation energy necessary to dissociate H2O. I've seen the Arrhenius equation solved before, but didn't understand how to get the values for it. Here are the operating...

I was stuck with a question; how does enzyme lower the activation energy of a reaction. After several internet searches, I found a post in biostackexchange which partially clarified my question. I'll write my current understanding before I proceed to my actual question. Activation energy is the...

What is the mechanism that explains the activation of ZnS with less than ppm of Ag? Bibliography from the 50’s mention of 10-7 parts of Ag in weight in order to activate the ZnS.

Hello. I know this is a dumb question but I am just learning chemistry. Ok, for collision theory, atoms need a certain amount of energy to bond, because they need to break old bonds and form new ones. Makes sense But, at high temperatures, things become gaseous. At low temperatures, things...

When the teacher is asking for the definition of "Neutron activation and moderation" does he mean it together or separate. I google the quoted word but it gives "Neutron activation analysis". Is this the same thing or do I look separately the word "Neutron activation" and then "Neutron moderation".

Homework Statement This question is just for an overall understanding of enthalpy and activation. My book states that catalysts decrease the activation energy of a reaction. This makes sense. However, how does this change the enthalpy? If a catalyst creates a new pathway, wouldn't the...

I saw a YouTube video where someone took nichrome wire and a high voltage source and managed to light a whole series of matches. I got me curious so I ran some numbers on how much wattage could be produced for a given length of nichrome wire and a given voltage. And assuming time is no issues...

I have some questions how various substituents are transfering benzene conjugated (π) electrons (i.e. activating/deactivating). As usual, no chemist provides an explanation. 1)As I see, the first important thing when forming a carbocation during electrophilic aromatic substitution is to find...

In transition state theory, the energy of activation (E) shows up in the Arrenhius equation as: k=Ae^(-E/RT). Does this energy of activation term correspond to internal energy? Or is it some other type of energy (i.e. Gibbs, Helmholtz)? I know its not Gibbs because that appears in the Eyring...

This is part of a lab report so not sure if the template agrees with what I am asking but basically using the Arrhenius equation in the form of ln(k)=ln(A)+(\frac{-E_a}{R})(\frac{1}{T}) I plotted a straight line graph of ln(k) vs 1/T and found the gradient to be -5525. Its the units that are...

Why does a higher activation energy usually mean a slower reaction? Doesn't activation energy just tell us whether or not a reaction will take place or not based on if the particles have enough energy to meet the activation barrier? How is it related to the rate of the reaction?
