The addition of a catalyst during a chemical reaction alters which of the following quantities ?

(A)

Activation energy

(B)

Entropy

(C)

Internal energy

(D)

Enthalpy

NEET - Medical UG-2016 Easy

Answer & Solution:

Activation energy

In a chemical reaction, a catalyst is basically used to alter the reaction rate. In reality, a catalyst will find a new reaction pathway and thus reduces the activation energy.
