Vedclass · Answer

(C) catalyst is a substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction by providing an alternative pathway with lower activation energy. It lowers the activation energy for both the forward and backward reactions to the same extent. Therefore,it increases the rate of both the forward and backward reactions equally,allowing the system to reach equilibrium faster without changing the equilibrium constant $(K_{eq})$ or the position of equilibrium.

Catalyst	Process
$i. Na_{2}O$	$a. \text{Oxidation of } SO_{2} \text{ in the manufacture of } H_{2}SO_{4}$
$ii. TiCl_{4} + Al(CH_{3})_{3}$	$b. \text{Polymerisation of ethylene}$
$iii. PdCl_{2}$	$c. \text{The oxidation of ethyne to ethanal}$
$iv. \text{Nickel complexes}$	$d. \text{Polymerisation of alkynes}$
