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.

Describe why the enthalpy of a reaction remains unchanged when a catalyst is used in a reaction.

Assertion (A) : The rate of reaction can also increase w.r.t its product if one of the products act as catalyst Reason (R) : A catalyst lowers the activation energy of reactions.

Assertion (A) : Photochemical reactions always occur in the presence of light. Reason (R) : Photochemical reactions do not require activation energy.

Assertion: A catalyst increases the rate of a reaction. Reason: In presence of a catalyst, the activation energy of the reaction decreases.

The lowering of activation energy by catalyst is due to :

A poistive catalyst increases the activation energy of the reaction.
