MCQ
Mark the correct statement in a reversible reaction:
  • A
    A catalyst catalyzes the forward reaction.
  • B
    A catalyst catalyzes the backward reaction.
  • ✓
    A catalyst influences a direct and reverse reaction to the same extent.
  • D
    A catalyst increases the rate of forward reaction and decreases the rate of backward reaction.
✓

Answer

Correct option: C.
A catalyst influences a direct and reverse reaction to the same extent.
A catalyst is a substance, which increases the rate of reaction without itself being consumed at the end of the reaction, and the phenomenon is called catalysis. There are some catalysts which decrease the rate of reaction and such catalysts are called negative catalyst. Obviously, the catalyst accelerating the rate will be positive catalyst. However, the term positive is seldom used and catalyst itself implies positive catalyst. Catalysts are generally foreign substances but sometimes one of the product formed may act as a catalyst and such a catalyst is called "auto catalyst" and the phenomenon is called auto catalysis.

Consider the following reaction $\mathrm{A}+\mathrm{B} \rightarrow \mathrm{C}$
