Assertion The rate of reaction can also increase w.r.t its product if one of the product act as catalyst. Reason A catalyst lowers the activation energy of reactions. Read the above assertion and reason and choose the correct option regarding ¡t.

1. Both Assertion and Reason are true Reason is the correct explanation to Assertion
2. Both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation to Assertion
3. Assertion is true but Reason is false
4. Both Assertion and Reason are false

Correct answer: Both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation to Assertion

Solution

The assertion is true because a product can act as a catalyst and increase the reaction rate. The reason is also true, but it only states the general effect of a catalyst; it does not specifically explain why a product acting as a catalyst makes the rate increase with respect to the product.
