Question
The graph of the effect of catalyst on activation energy is given below. Fill up the blanks $$X$$ and $$Y$$ with appropriate statements.
The graph of the effect of catalyst on activation energy is given below. Fill up the blanks $$X$$ and $$Y$$ with appropriate statements.
A.
$$X$$ = energy of activation without catalyst, $$Y$$ = energy of activation with catalyst
B.
$$X$$ = path of reaction with catalyst, $$Y$$ = path of reaction without catalyst
C.
$$X$$ = energy of activation with catalyst, $$Y$$ = energy of activation without catalyst
D.
$$X$$ = energy of endothermic reaction, $$Y$$ = energy of exothermic reaction
Answer :
$$X$$ = energy of activation with catalyst, $$Y$$ = energy of activation without catalyst
Solution :
Energy of activation is lowered when a catalyst is used.
Energy of activation is lowered when a catalyst is used.
