A

Decreasesing `E_(a)`

B

Increasing `E_(a)`

C

Decreasing entropy

D

Increasing entropy

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, C
Catalyst decreases the activation energy for the reaction hence reaction speeds up. It also decreases entropy (more negative), therefore, free energy less positive or more spontaneous.
