The correct Answer is:
To determine which statement is not correct regarding catalysts and their effects on chemical reactions, we will analyze each option provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Role of Catalysts**: - A catalyst is a substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction without being consumed in the process. It works by lowering the activation energy required for the reaction to occur. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Option 1**: "Catalyst does not initiate any reaction." - This statement is **correct**. Catalysts do not initiate reactions; they only speed up reactions that would occur naturally. - **Option 2**: "The value of equilibrium constant is changed in the presence of catalyst in the reaction at equilibrium." - This statement is **incorrect**. A catalyst does not change the equilibrium constant of a reaction. It only helps the system reach equilibrium faster without altering the position of equilibrium. - **Option 3**: "Enzymes catalyze mainly many biochemical reactions." - This statement is **correct**. Enzymes are biological catalysts that facilitate biochemical reactions in living organisms. - **Option 4**: "Coenzymes increase the catalytic activity of enzymes." - This statement is **correct**. Coenzymes are non-protein molecules that assist enzymes in catalyzing reactions, thus enhancing their activity. 3. **Conclusion**: - The statement that is not correct is **Option 2**: "The value of equilibrium constant is changed in the presence of catalyst in the reaction at equilibrium." ### Final Answer: The incorrect statement is **Option 2**.
