Which of the following statements accurately describes how a catalyst acts in a chemical reaction? I. Decreases the kinetic energy of the reaction
II. Is not consumed by the reaction
III. Increases the equilibrium constant
IV. Reduces the required activation energy
a) II, III, and IV only
b) I and III only
c) I and II only
d) II and IV only

d) II and IV only.

Explanation:

A catalyst increases the kinetic energy of reactant molecules which increases the magnitude of collision. These then decreases the activation energy . A catalyst is not consumed by reaction because it is neither reactant nor a product, hence has no effect on equilibrium constant.
