Which of the following statements is true for a catalyst?

  • A
    $A$ catalyst increases the rate of reaction by lowering the activation energy.
  • B
    $A$ catalyst does not participate in the reaction mechanism.
  • C
    If $\Delta G$ is more negative,it can be said that the catalyst speeds up the reaction.
  • D
    $A$ catalyst shifts the equilibrium constant of the reaction in favor of the forward reaction.
