Question
Which one of the following statements is not correct?
A.
Catalyst does not initiate any reaction
B.
The value of equilibrium constant is changed in the presence of a catalyst in the reaction equilibrium
C.
Enzymes catalyse mainly biochemical reaction
D.
Coenzymes increase the catalytic activity of enzyme
Answer :
The value of equilibrium constant is changed in the presence of a catalyst in the reaction equilibrium
Solution :
For a reversible reaction, it accelerates the speed of forward as well as backward reaction to the same extent. Hence, it does not disturb the equilibrium, i.e. does not change the equilibrium constant of the reaction but helps to attain the equilibrium faster.
