A catalyst decreases the activation energy of a particular exothermic reaction by 34 kJ/mol, to 57 kJ/mol. Assuming that the mec
hanism has only one step, and that the products are 26 kJ lower in energy than the reactants, sketch approximate energy-level diagrams for the catalyzed and uncatalyzed reactions. What is the activation energy for the uncatalyzed reverse reaction?
