The role of a catalyst is to change

A

Gibbs energy of reaction

B

Enthalpy of reaction

C

Activation energy of reaction

D

Equilibrium constant

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
The role of a catalyst is to change the activation energy of reaction . This is done by either increasing or decreasing activation energy of molecule as catalyst are mainly of two types , `+ve` catalyst and -`-ve` catalyst .
