Question

Which statement about catalysts is FALSE?
Options
A Catalysts lower the activation energy of a reaction
B Catalysts do not alter the equilibrium position
C Catalysts are consumed during the reaction
Correct Answer
D Catalysts increase the rate of both forward and reverse reactions
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Catalysts provide an alternative reaction pathway with lower activation energy. They are not consumed in the overall reaction and can be used repeatedly. They increase the rates of both the forward and reverse reactions, helping the system reach equilibrium faster without shifting the equilibrium position.

Hint

Consider whether the catalyst is used up or if it remains unchanged at the end of the reaction.
