Maxwell–Boltzmann distribution: rates of reaction
Change the temperature and activation energy to see the spread of molecular energies, the share able to react, and the effect of a catalyst.

Questions students ask
Why does a higher temperature speed up a reaction?
More molecules have energy above the activation energy, and they collide more often.
How does a catalyst work?
It provides another route with a lower activation energy, so more molecules have enough energy to react.
