Q1 FREE PREVIEW
PYQ
Which of the following will lead to an increase in the rate of the reaction?
aDecrease in temperature
bDecreasing concentration of reactants
cAddition of catalyst
dAddition of inhibitor
✓ Correct answer: c) Addition of catalyst
ExplanationThe presence of a catalyst in a reaction lowers the activation energy barrier and hence the reaction becomes faster.Hence, the addition of catalysts helps to increase the rate of a reaction.
