Chemical and Ionic Equilibrium - Result Question 16
####16.
Which is correct statement if
(2006, 3M)
(a) The equilibrium will shift to forward direction because according to Ind law of thermodynamics, the entropy must increases in the direction of spontaneous reaction
(b) The condition for equilibrium is
(c) The catalyst will increase the rate of forward reaction by
(d) Catalyst will not alter the rate of either of the reaction
Show Answer
Solution:
- At equilibrium,
A catalyst does not affect either equilibrium composition or equilibrium constant, it just increases rate of both forward and backward reaction but by the same factor.
