Lesson: Catalysts Chemistry

In this lesson, we will learn how to explain the effects of catalysts on the rate of reaction.

Lesson Plan

Students will be able to

explain how the presence of a catalyst affects the rate of chemical reactions,
link changes in reaction profile diagrams and activation energy to catalytic action and alternate reaction pathways,
list uses and benefits of catalysts in real-life situations.

Q1:

Which one of the following statements about catalysts is false?

Q2:

Which of the following statements explains how catalysts increase the rate of reaction?

Q3:

Why is vanadium(V) oxide used as an industrial catalyst for the conversion of to ?
