Q. Which statement is wrong?
A) The catalyst does not alter the equilibrium of a reaction
B) Reaction with higher activation energy has higher rate constant
C) In the endothermic reaction, the activation energy of the reaction is higher than that of heat of reaction
D) Half-life period of a first order reactions is independent of initial concentration
Explanation
(b)
$k = Ae^{- E_{a}/RT}$; higher is $E_{a}$, lesser is $k.$
