Question

Identify the incorrect statment.

A) A catalyst provides a different pathway for the reactant(s) to form the products

B) the units of the rate constant are alwways (M/time)

C) increasing the temperature of a reaction increases the rate constant

D) Catalysts are not included in balanced equations, but, they are part of the rate equation

E) the order of the rate law in an elementary step of a proposed mechanism is determined by the some of the ractant coefficients in the elmentary step.

Please show how you got your answer

Explanation / Answer

A catalyst alter pathway by lowering the activation energy so a catalyst provide a different pathway.

the unit of rate constant is always M/s or M/time.

as we increase the temperature reaction increase the rate constant because collioson also increase between molecule

option E is also correct because elementary step shows the reaction part by which we get rate determining step

catalyst if occur in rate determining step so it should be a part of rate equation so this option is incorrect

so correct answer is D
