Question

Please HELP!
What claim about K is not true? Motivate your conclusion.
a. A catalyst affects K b. A great value of K means that there is much of the product c. If K = 1, there are as many reactants as the product d. A small value of K means that there are a lot of reactants
Right answer is A, explain why !! Please HELP!

Explanation / Answer

since the addition of catalyst decreases the activation energy

we know that rate constant K=exp(-Ea/RT)

therefore as the activation energy decreases the rate constant increases
