An investigator studies the rate of a chemical reaction using three different catalysts (Catalyst A, B, and C). The activation energy (Ea) calculated for the uncatalyzed reaction is 100 kj/mol. With catalyst A, Ea = 75 kj/mol; with catalyst B, Ea = 50 kj/mol; and with catalyst C, Ea = 90 kj/mol. Assuming reaction rate is inversely proportional to activation energy under identical conditions, which catalyst yields the fastest reaction rate?

D. the uncatalyzed reaction

B. Catalyst B
