Which of the following statements regarding catalyst is not true? A catalyst remains unchanged in composition and quantity at the end of the reaction, A catalyst can initiate a reaction, A catalyst does not alter the equilibrium in a reversible reaction, Catalysts are sometimes very specific in respect of reaction

Give an example for shape selective catalysts. Explain.

The activation energy of a reaction is 24.0 kcal mol^(-1) at 27^(@)C and the presence of catalyst changes its activation energy to one-fourth at the same temperature. The approximate ratio of rate in the presence of catalyst to rate in the absence of catalyst will be (use R = 2 cal mol^(-1) K^(-1) ).
