Question
Given below are two statements : Statement I : A catalyst cannot alter the equilibrium constant (KC) of the reaction, temperature remaining constant. Statement II : A homogenous catalyst can change the equilibrium composition of a system, temperature remaining constant. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below. (A) Both Statement I and Statement II are false (B) Statement I is true but Statement II is false (C) Statement I is false but Statement II is true (D) Both Statement I and Statement II are true
💡 Solution & Explanation
Statement I : Catalyst cannot alter the equilibrium constant (Keq) of the reaction as equilibrium constant only depends on temperature. Statement II : A homogenous catalyst can change the equilibrium composition of a system.
