Solution

Statement-I: On increasing temperature, the rate of reaction increases for endothermic reactions while it decreases for exothermic reactions.

Statement-II: In the presence of a catalyst, the activation energy decreases for both endothermic and exothermic reactions.

To determine the correctness of these statements, let's analyze each statement separately:

Statement-I: On increasing temperature, the rate of reaction increases for endothermic reactions while it decreases for exothermic reactions.

This statement is incorrect. In general, increasing the temperature increases the rate of both endothermic and exothermic reactions. This is because higher temperatures provide more energy to the reactant molecules, allowing them to overcome the activation energy barrier more easily and react faster.

Statement-II: In the presence of a catalyst, the activation energy decreases for both endothermic and exothermic reactions.

This statement is correct. A catalyst is a substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction by lowering the activation energy required for the reaction to occur. This applies to both endothermic and exothermic reactions. By providing an alternative reaction pathway with a lower activation energy, a catalyst allows the reaction to proceed at a faster rate.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

(3) Statement-I is incorrect but statement-II is correct.
