Facets:
Source sentences:
text: They work by providing an alternative pathway for the reaction to occur, thus reducing the activation energy and increasing the reaction rate.
text: As catalysts lower the activation energy, more molecules collide with the energy needed to reach a transition state.
text: They work by providing an alternative pathway for the reaction to occur, thus reducing the activation energy and increasing the reaction rate.
text: They work by providing an alternative pathway for the reaction to occur, thus reducing the activation energy and increasing the reaction rate.
text: Catalysts lower the activation energy (or energy needed to start a reaction), and cause the reaction to occur more quickly.
