A catalyst will change?
A. The reaction mechanism
B. The energy of activation
C. The specific rate constant
D. Two of the above
E. All of the above.
Obviously B is correct, I remember Chad saying that enzymes will often use a different reaction mechanism or route to get to the lower Ea (his example of going from Phoenix to Tucson via the South Pole), but C? I can't seem to rationalize why C is correct.
