← ScienceWhich outcome occurs involving but-1-ene when platinum acts as catalyst?
A)Lower activation energy, faster reaction✓
B)Increased equilibrium constant magnitude
C)Greater product thermodynamic stability
D)Higher average kinetic molecular energy
💡 Explanation
Platinum lowers activation energy via surface catalysis of the double bond; therefore, reaction rates increase because reactants now need less energy to react, rather than affecting equilibrium or kinetic energy distributions elsewhere.
