Chemical Kinetics Question 279
Question: A chemical reaction is catalyzed by a catalyst X. Hence X
Options:
A) reduces enthalpy of the reaction
B) decreases rate constant of the reaction
C) increases activation energy of the reaction
D) does not affect equilibrium constant of the reaction
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: D
Solution:
[d] A catalyst affects equally both forward and backward reactions, therefore it does not affect equilibrium constant of reaction.
