(physical chemistry) The study of the rates of chemical reactions, especially as a means of elucidating reaction pathways or mechanisms.
Generic potential energy diagram showing the effect of a catalyst in a hypothetical endothermic chemical reaction. The presence of the catalyst opens a new reaction pathway (shown in red) with a lower activation energy. The final result and the overall thermodynamics are the same.
