NEET 2016 Chemistry question

The addition of a catalyst during a chemical reaction alters which of the following quantities?

(1)Entropy
(2)Internal energy
(3)Enthalpy
(4)Activation energyCorrect

Answer: (4)

Solution

A catalyst provides an alternative reaction path with a lower activation energy (a lower-energy transition state or activated complex), thereby increasing the rate. Entropy, internal energy and enthalpy are state
