MCQ

Which of the following statement is not correct for the catalyst?

A
It catalyses the forward and backward reaction to the same extent.
✓
It alters $\Delta\text{G}$ of the reaction.
C
It is a substance that does not change the equilibrium constant of a reaction.
D
It provides an alternate mechanism by reducing activation energy between reactants and products.

✓

Answer

Correct option: B.

It alters $\Delta\text{G}$ of the reaction.

A catalyst does not alter Gibbs energy$, (G)$ of a reaction. It catalyses the spontaneous reactions but does not catalyse non$-$spontaneous reactions.
