NEET · Chemistry · STD 12 - 3. Chemical kinetics
The addition of a catalyst during a chemical reaction alters which of the following quantities?
- A Enthalpy
- B Activation energy
- C Entropy
- D Internal energy
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) Activation energy
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
A catalyst is a substance which alters the reaction but itself remains unchanged in the chemical reaction. In a chemical reaction, it provides a new reaction path by the lowering the activation energy barrier.
