What aspect of a reaction is infuenced by presence of catalyst which increases the rate or possibility of the reaction?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Catalyst lowers down the activation energy ạd providés an alternative path to the reaction. The number of molecules possessing activation energy will increase at the same témperature and number of effective collision will increase, hence rate of réaction will increase.

    Select the correct statements which are re-latedto the influenceof catalystin a revers- ible reaction: The catalyst increases the rates of both the forward and the backward reactions to the same extent.

    The reaction A rarr X is a first order reaction, which takes place in a vessel with initial concentration of A as 10 M. The rate constant for this reaction is 4.16 h^(-1) . In the presence of a catalyst, the reaction A rarr y follows second order kinetics and the rate constant is 0.2 "min"^(-1)M^(-1) . What should be the initial concentration of A in the presence of catalyst so that the value of t_(1//2) for both reactions is the same ?

    Which of the following factors are respsonsible for the increase in the rate of a surface catalysed reaction? I. A catalyst provides proper orientation for the reactant molecuels to react. II.
