(A) Presence of catalyst increases the rate of reaction (R ) Presence of catalyst increases the enthalpy of reaction

A: A catalyst increases the rate of a reaction. R: In presence of a catalyst, the activation energy of the reaction increases.

R-Cl is hydrolysed to R-OH slowly but the reaction is rapid in presence of KI as catalyst. Explain.

Assertion (A) : The number of atoms of each element before and after reaction must be the same. Reason (R) : Law of conservation of mass if followed by every chemical reaction.

(A) The addition of catalyst lowers the activation barrier, yet there is no change in the enthalpy of reaction. (R ) Enthalpy change is equal to the difference in the activation energy for the forward and the backward reactions.

A hydrogenation reaction is carried out at 500 K. If the same reaction is carried out in the presence of a catalyst at the same rate with same frequency factor, the temperature required is 400 K. What is the activation energy of the eaction. If the catalyst lowers the activation energy barrier by 16 KJ/mol?

A certain endothermic reaction: Ato Product, DeltaH=+ve proceeds ina sequence of three elementary steps with the rate constant K_(1),K_(2) and K_(3) and each one having energy of activation E_(1),E_(2) and E_(3) respectively at 25^(@)C . The observed rate constannt for the reaction is equal to K_(3)sqrt((K_(1))/(K_(2))) . A_(1),A_(2) and A_(3) are Arrhenius parameters respectively. Presence of a catalyst decreasesthe energy of activation of each path by half the value of E_(1) . Assuming the other factors same, the observed energy of activation would be

The energies of activation for forward and reverse reactions for A_(2)+B_(2)to2AB are 280kJ"mol"^(-1) and 400kJ"mol"^(-1) respectively. The presence of catalyst lowers the activation energy of both forward as well as reverse reactions by 100KJ"mol"^(-1) . The enthalpy change of the reaction A_(2)+B_(20to2AB in the presence of catalyst will be (in KJ "mol"^(-1) )
