You will write functions that work with the barriers of a reaction and the effect of a catalyst. One finds the reverse barrier. One finds the speed-up that a catalyst gives. One picks the best catalyst from a list.
The idea. . A catalyst that lowers the barrier by multiplies the rate constant by .
Your tasks.
reverse_barrier(ea, dh) so that it returns the activation energy of the reverse reaction in kJ/mol.speed_up(ea, ea_cat, T) so that it returns the factor by which the rate constant grows. The barriers are in kJ/mol.best to the name of the catalyst with the largest speed-up.Have you tried it?
Do the tasks in the editor first, and run the checker after each one. Its hints help when a check fails. When you are ready, compare your code with this solution.
