JEE Main Chemistry question

Not in JEE Main or NEET syllabus

Which is not correct for heterogeneous catalysis?

(A)The catalyst decreases the energy of activation
(B)The surface of the catalyst plays an important role
(C)The catalyst actually forms a compound with the reactants
(D)There is no change in the energy of activationCorrect

Answer: (D)

Solution

Heterogeneous catalysis does lower the activation energy (A) through surface adsorption processes where the catalyst's surface plays a key role (B), and according to the intermediate compound formation theory the catalyst may form a
