Question

5. Which of the following statement is true?
(a) Catalyst speeds up the reaction.
(b) Catalyst slows down the reaction.
(c) Catalyst does not get involved in the reaction
(d) All the bracket​

Answer 1

Answer:

Catalyst is any substance that increases the rate of a reaction without itself being consumed.

The most important properties of catalysts are:

1. A catalyst increases the speed of a reaction, and it also improves the yield of the intended product.

2. A catalyst actually takes part in the reaction even though it itself is not consumed or used up in the course of the reaction.

3. A catalyst makes the reaction faster by providing an alternative pathway with a lower activation energy.

4. A catalyst is reaction-specific. It may not be effective in another reaction even if the two reactions are of similar type.

5. In a reversible reaction, a catalyst accelerates both the forward and the reverse reactions. So, the inclusion of a catalyst does not alter the equilibrium constant of a reversible reaction.

6.A catalyst can accelerate the rate of reaction but it can't initiate the reaction thus donot alter the spontaneity or ΔG

of the reaction

Therefore option A and B are correct
