Question #1
A catalyst that slows down a reaction is known as:
A. Inhibitor
B. Promoter
C. Activator
D. Autocatalyst

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Inhibitors (negative catalysts) decrease reaction rate. Promoters enhance activity of a catalyst; activators increase effectiveness; autocatalysts are reaction products that catalyze the reaction.

Question #2
A catalyst works by:
A. Lowering the activation energy
B. Increasing the heat of reaction
C. Increasing the energy of reactants
D. Consuming itself in the reaction

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Catalysts provide an alternative reaction pathway with lower activation energy, increasing the fraction of effective collisions. They are not consumed and do not alter the overall enthalpy change (ΔH) or equilibrium constant.

Question #3
Which of the following gases deviates most from ideal behavior at room temperature?
A. Hydrogen
B. Helium
C. Nitrogen
D. Ammonia

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Real gases deviate from ideal behavior due to intermolecular forces and molecular volume. Ammonia (NH3) has strong intermolecular hydrogen bonding and a relatively large molecular size compared to small, non-polar gases like He, H2, and N2. Therefore, ammonia exhibits the greatest deviation from ideal gas behavior.
