Question

Which statement is true regarding a catalyst?

Answer 1

Answer:

d). A catalyst lowers the activation energy for a chemical reaction.

Explanation:

From the given choices, it is true that a catalyst lowers the activation energy for a chemical reaction.

The activation energy is the energy barrier that must be overcome before a chemical reaction can occur.

Some reactions have very high activation energy and would not occur without the introduction of a catalyst.

The catalyst brings the reactants into contact by removing the energy deficiency in the system.
