Which of the following will lead to an increase in the rate of the reaction?(a) Decrease in temperature(b) Decreasing concentration of reactants(c) Addition of catalyst(d) Addition of inhibitorI got this question in semester exam.My question comes from Chemical Kinetics topic in portion Chemical Kinetics of Chemistry – Class 12

Answer»

The correct choice is (C) Addition of catalyst

For explanation: The 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.
