Look at the far right tail of the distribution, past the activation energy barrier ( Eacap E sub a When the temperature shifts from T1cap T sub 1 T2cap T sub 2

"How does a catalyst increase the rate of a reaction? Use the distribution curve in your explanation."

Instead, the catalyst provides an alternative pathway with a lower activation energy. On the graph, this "shifts" the Eacap E sub a
