When a catalyst increases the rate of forward reaction, the value of rate constant__________________?
Correct answer: A. Increases
- A. Increases
- B. Decreases
- C. Remain same
- D. Becomes infinite
Explanation
A catalyst provides an alternative pathway with lower activation energy, increasing the forward reaction rate constant at a given temperature. It does not change the equilibrium constant because it accelerates the reverse reaction as well.
