Assertion (A) The enthalpy of reaction remains constant in the presence of a catalyst. Reason (R) A catalyst participating in the reaction froms different activated complex and lowers down the activation energy but the difference in energy of reactant and product remains the same.

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.

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.
