Homework Help: Reducing the activation energy

kasse · May 15, 2008

Can you give me an example of a reaction where the activation energy is reduced?

Yes, I certainly can!

Thanks.

haha...

does the word 'catalyst' tell you something?

I don't usually give a real answer to someone if I can simply google the question and get a reasonable hit. In this case I googled "reduce activation energy" and got the Wiki reference for enzyme catalysis. It is clear that Kasse has put absolutely no thought or effort into this work. Why should we?

i think i need some more experience to know when to answer if i can.

you're totally right.... and you say that soooo sarcastically!!! :)
