| 1. | Gibbs energy of the reaction |
| 2. | Enthalpy of reaction |
| 3. | The activation energy of the reaction |
| 4. | Equilibrium constant |

| A. | Catalyst alters the rate of reaction | 1. | Proper orientation is not always there |
| B. | 2. | By lowering the activation energy | |
| C. | Energetically favorable reactions are sometimes slow | 3. | Total probability is one |
| D. | The area under the Maxwell-Boltzmann curve is constant | 4. | Refers to the fraction of molecules with energy equal to or greater than the activation energy |

An incorrect statement regarding a catalyst is:
| 1. | It catalyzes the forward and backward reactions to the same extent. |
| 2. | It alters the Gibbs free energy of the reaction. |
| 3. | It is a substance that does not change the equilibrium constant of a reaction. |
| 4. | It provides an alternate mechanism by reducing activation energy between reactants and products. |

Select the correct option based on statements below:
| Assertion (A): | The enthalpy of reaction remains constant in the presence of a catalyst. |
| Reason (R): | A catalyst participating in the reaction forms a different activated complex and lowers down the activation energy but the difference in energy of the reactant and the product remains the same. |
| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
| 3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
| 4. | Both (A) and (R) are False. |

In the presence of a catalyst, the heat evolved or absorbed during the reaction:
