Consider the following potential energy diagram: Reaction coordinate Which path represents a catalyzed reaction? How many steps would be proposed in the mechanism for the catalyzed reaction, and which step would be rate-determining? Since there are activation energies shown for the catalyzed reaction there are steps in the mechanism. The slowest step would be the step in the mechanism as that step has the activation energy of the in the mechanism Potential energy
