Which of the following factors is altered by the addition of a catalyst during a chemical reaction?
- A Entropy
- B Activation energy
- C Enthalpy
- D Internal energy
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…
