Solution
Catalyst:
It is a substance which alters the rate of the reaction [i.e. increases or decreases the rate] without taking part in the reaction.It itself remains chemically unchanged at the end of the reaction.
Example: Catalytic oxidation of ammonia – using catalyst platinum
\[\ce{4NH3 + 5O2 ->[Pt][800°C] 4NO + 6H2O + \triangle}\]

Three beakers labelled as A, B and C each containing 25 mL of water were taken. A small amount of NaOH, anhydrous CuSO4 and NaCl were added to the beakers A, B and C respectively. It was observed that there was an increase in the temperature of the solutions contained in beakers A and B, whereas in case of beaker C, the temperature of the solution falls. Which one of the following statement(s) is(are) correct?
