What is the role of a catalyst in a catalysed reaction

A

Lowers the activation energy

B

Increases the activation energy

C

Affects the free energy change

D

Affects the enthalpy charge

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
All substance has average energy and before the reaction occurs energy of the reactant should be higher than the average energy. We also know that catalyst lower the activation energy. Therefore, rate of reaction is increased.
