The role of a catalyst in a chemical reaction is no change the

A

yield of the final products

B

heat of the reaction

C

activation energy

D

equilibrium concentration

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

Each catalyst has its own specific way of functioning but in general, a catalyst functions by lowering the energy of activation which in tum makes the rate constant larger and hence the rate of the reaction higher.
