A. | Catalyst alters the rate of reaction | 1. | Proper orientation is not always there |
B. | 2. | By lowering the activation energy | |
C. | Energetically favorable reactions are sometimes slow | 3. | Total probability is one |
D. | The area under the Maxwell-Boltzmann curve is constant | 4. | Refers to the fraction of molecules with energy equal to or greater than the activation energy |
Codes:

1. | 2 | 4 | 1 | 3 |
2. | 3 | 1 | 4 | 2 |
3. | 1 | 4 | 3 | 2 |
4. | 3 | 4 | 1 | 2 |
Select the correct option based on statements below:
Assertion (A): | The enthalpy of reaction remains constant in the presence of a catalyst. |
Reason (R): | A catalyst participating in the reaction forms a different activated complex and lowers down the activation energy but the difference in energy of the reactant and the product remains the same. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
4. | Both (A) and (R) are False. |
