Which of the following factors is altered by the addition of a catalyst during a chemical reaction?

  1. A Entropy
  2. B Activation energy
  3. C Enthalpy
  4. D Internal energy
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) Activation energy

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

A catalyst increases the rate of a chemical reaction by providing an alternative reaction pathway with a lower activation energy. Thermodynamic state functions such as entropy, enthalpy, and internal energy depend only on the initial and final states of the system (reactants and…
