Solution

The correct option is C Equilibrium constant
• A catalyst does not alter $K_{p}$ or $K_{c}$ values.
• A catalyst increases rate of a reaction as it lowers threshold energy barrier thus it lowers activation energy for both the forward and the backward reactions.

The addition of a catalyst during a chemical reaction alters which of the following quantities?

Q. Assertion :Catalyst is a substance which takes part in a chemical reaction, undergoes chemical change and alters the rate of a reaction Reason: Catalyst is a substance which does not take part in a chemical reaction, but changes the rate of reaction

Q. Addition of a catalyst during a reaction leads to change in:

Q. Assertion :A catalyst does not alter the equilibrium constant of a reaction. Reason: The catalyst forms a complex with the reactants and provides an alternate path with lower energy of activation for the reaction; the forward and back ward reactions are affected to the same extent.

Q. Assertion :The catalyst does not alter the equilibrium constant. Reason: For the catalysed reaction and uncatalysed reaction

Δ H

remains same and equilibrium constant depends on

Δ H
