Activation energy and degrees of freedom

According to the Arrhenius equation the rate of a reaction increases as at higher temperature a greater percentage of molecules have translational kinetic energy greater than or equal to activation en …

Why a catalyst is not consumed in a reaction when all steps are reversible?

It is said that a catalyst speeds up the rate of a reaction but is not consumed (assuming no side reactions take place). Suppose we have the following reaction: $$\ce{A + B <=> C} $$ catalysed by $\ce …

Is standard change in activation Gibbs free energy indepedent of pressure?

For a chemical reaction the activation volume is defined as: $$Δ^{\ddagger}V={V^\ddagger}-V$$ where both $V^\ddagger$ and $V$ refer to standard states (I have omitted the symbol for simplicity). One c …
