The addition of a catallystic during a chemical reaction alters which of the following quantities ?

A

Activation energy

B

Entropy

C

Internal energy

D

Ethalpy

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
The catalyst provides an alternate pathway or reaction mechanism by reducing the activation energy between reactants and products and hence lowering the potential energy barrier.
