A catalyst increases rate of reaction by

A

Decreasing enthalpy

B

Decreasing internal energy

C

Decreasing activation energy

D

Increasing activation energy

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Catalyst provides new path to the chemical reaction which has lower value of activation energy. Reactant and product with not be affected, so there will not be any change in state parameter like enthalpy and internal energy.
