______________ explains the mechanism of catalysis?
Correct answer: A. Activated complex theory
- A. Activated complex theory
- B. Collision theory
- C. Thermodynamics
- D. None of these
Explanation
Activated complex theory explains catalysis by showing that a catalyst provides an alternative reaction pathway with a lower activation energy. Thermodynamics predicts equilibrium changes, not the mechanism or rate enhancement caused by a catalyst.
