if activation energy of a reaction is zero

A hydrogenation reaction is carried out at 500K.If the same reaction is carried out in the presence of a catalyst at the same rate temperature required is 400K. Calculate the activation energy of the reaction if the catalyst lowers the activation barrier by 20"kJ.mol"^(-1)

The activation energy of a reaction is 80"kj.mol"^(-1) . The activation energy reduces by 75% in presence of a catalyst. If the other parameters are kept constant , compare the rates of the reaction in presence and absence of the catalyst at 25^(@)C .

How does enthalpy of a reaction remain unaltered in the presence of a catalyst, explain.

At a given temperature , for a reaction , the activation energy in absence of catalyst is greater than that in presence of catalyst be an amount of RT. If the value of the rate constant in presence of catalyst is x times that in absence of catalyst, then find the value of x.

A reaction is separately carried out in absence and presnce of a catalyst . If the activation energies in presnce and absence of catalyst are E_(a) and E'_(a) respectively and the reaction-enthalpies are DeltaH' respectively , then-
