Statements : A catalyst lowers the threshokd energy level for reaction . Explanations : Catalyst combines with reactabnt to form an exothermic intermediate and provide another parthway to traction .

Statements : A catalyst enhances the rate of a reactgion . Expabnations : The energy foactivation of the reaction is lowered in presence of a catarge of the coagualnt ion.

Assertion: The enthalapy of reaction remains constant in the presence of a catalyst. Reason: A catalyst participating in the reaction, forms different activated complex and lowers down the activation energy but the difference in energy of reactants lead to product formation.

Statements : A catalyst doesnot alter the equilibrium constant os a reaction . Expabnations : A catalyst complex with the reactants and provides an alternate path wirh a lower energy of activation for the reacton . The forwaord and forwad and reverse reactions are affected to the same extent .
