Q. A catalyst

IIT JEEIIT JEE 1984Chemical Kinetics

Solution:

A catalyst lowers the activation energy by enabling the reaction to continue through an alternative path, i.e. catalyst changes the reaction mechanism. However, catalyst does not affect either average kinetic energies of reactants or the collision frequency.
