Question

The equilibrium constant for the reaction: N₂(g) + O₂(g) ⇌ 2NO(g) is 4.0 × 10⁻⁴ at 2000 K. In the presence of a catalyst, the equilibrium is attained 10 times faster. Therefore, the equilibrium constant in presence of the catalyst at 2000 K is

Prashant Kotian · Accepted Answer

Correct answer: C. A catalyst accelerates both the forward and backward reactions equally, reducing the time to reach equilibrium. However, it does not alter the final equilibrium position or the value of the equilibrium constant. Therefore, correct answer is C.
