Point out the false statement

A

A catalyst does not differenctiate between the forward and backward reactions

B

Low activation energy is associated with fast

C

A catalyst changes the equilibrum point of the reaction

D

The activated state represents highly unstable state.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
A catalyst simply alters the rate by providing a path of low activation energy. It cannot change the equilibrium point.
