Question

Which of the following statement regarding a catalyst in an equilibrium| process is correct?

• A. It increases the rate of forward reaction only
• B. It hastens the easy attainment of equilibrium
• C. It increases the activation energy of both the forward and backward process
• D. It decreases the rate of backward process
• E. It decreases the activation energy of direct process It increases the activation energy of backward process

Answer 1

The correct option is A It increases the rate of forward reaction only

catalyst is chemical compound we to enhance rate of forward reaction without participate in actor product

So option $A$ is correct

Catalyst also decreases activation energy
