Day 6.1 Warm-Up
Use the potential energy diagram to answer
questions 1-5.
1. Is the reaction endothermic or exothermic?
2. What is the value of the activation energy of
the uncatalyzed reaction?
3. What is the value of the activation energy of
the catalyzed reaction?
4. What is the potential energy of the activated
complex of the catalyzed reaction?
5. How does H for the catalyzed compare to H for the
uncatalyzed reaction? (same, greater or less). Explain
your reasoning.
