Statement 1: Reaction enthalpy remains unchanged in the presence of a catalyst.

Statement 2: A catalyst can form a different activated complex and lower activation energy, but the energy difference between reactants and products stays the same.

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

The explanation directly supports the unchanged reaction enthalpy: a different pathway does not alter the endpoint energy difference.
