Question

The equilibrium constant at 323oC is 1000. What would be its value in the presence of a catalyst in the forward reaction.

A + B C + D + 38 kcal

• A. 1000 x concentration of catalyst
• B. 1000
• C. $\frac{1000}{concentrationofcatalyst}$
• D. impossible to tell

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

1000

Answer 2

The equilibrium constant vary only with temperature. At constant temperature it will not vary.
