Potential energy profile for uncatalyzed (solid line) and catalyzed (dashed line) pathways of \(2\,\text{N}_2\text{O}(g) \rightarrow 2\,\text{N}_2(g) + \text{O}_2(g)\).
Potential energy profile for uncatalyzed (solid line) and catalyzed (dashed line) pathways of \(2\,\text{N}_2\text{O}(g) \rightarrow 2\,\text{N}_2(g) + \text{O}_2(g)\).
The potential energy profile for the decomposition reaction \(2\,\text{N}_2\text{O}(g) \rightarrow 2\,\text{N}_2(g) + \text{O}_2(g)\) is shown in the graph, representing both an uncatalyzed pathway and a catalyzed pathway.

Based on the graph, which of the following statements best explains the effect of the catalyst on the reaction?
