Answer:A
Which one of the following statements is not correct?
A. The value of equilibrium constant is changed in the presence of a catalyst in the reaction at equilibrium B. Enzymes catalyse mainly bio-chemical reactions C. Coenzymes increase the catalytic activity of enzyme D. Catalyst does not initiate any reaction
Explanation:- A catalyst decreases activation energies of both the forward and backward reaction by same amount, therefore, it speeds up both forward and backward reaction by same rate.
