Question

An uncatalyzed reaction has an activation energy Ea = 50 kJ mol-1 and an enthalpy change ∆H° = –10 kJ mol-1. In the presence of a catalyst, what might these values become?

A.

Ea = 30 kJ mol-1, ∆H° = –10 kJ mol-1

✓ Correct
B.

Ea = 50 kJ mol-1, ∆H° = –15 kJ mol-1

C.

Ea = 60 kJ mol-1, ∆H° = –20 kJ mol-1

D.

Ea = –10 kJ mol-1, ∆H° = 50 kJ mol-1
