Which one of the following statements is not correct?
- ACatalyst does not initiate any reaction
- BThe value of equilibrium constant is changed in the presence of a catalyst in the reaction at equilibrium
- CEnzymes catalyse mainly bio-chemical reactions
- DCoenzymes increase the catalytic activity of enzyme
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
A catalyst increases the rate of both forward and backward reactions equally by lowering the activation energy. Consequently, it helps the system reach equilibrium faster but does not change the position of equilibrium or the value of the equilibrium constant ().
