Q74 / 180 · NEET 2016 (Phase 1) · Chemistry

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

A
Entropy
B
Internal energy
C
Enthalpy
Correct answer
D
Activation energy

Solution

Catalyst is going to affect the activation energy of a chemical reaction. Activation energy is the minimum energy required to from activated complex or Transition state.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
