A chemical reaction is carried out at two different temperatures T₁ and T₂ (T₂>T₁ ) and also with and without a catalyst. The statement that is correct among the following is
Options
- ALowering in the activation energy of the reaction due to catalyst would be higher at T ₂ than at T ₁
- BLowering in the activation energy of the reaction due to catalyst would be higher at T ₁ than at T ₂
- CThe factor by which the rate of the reaction is increased by the catalyst would be lower at T ₂ than at T ₁
- DThe factor by which the rate of the reaction is increased by the catalyst would be higher at T₂ than at T₁
Correct answer
C. The factor by which the rate of the reaction is increased by the catalyst would be lower at T ₂ than at T ₁
