Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following changes will NOT affect the position of equilibrium?
  • Step 1: Understand what equilibrium means in a chemical reaction. It is the point where the forward and reverse reactions occur at the same rate.
  • Step 2: Know that the position of equilibrium can be affected by changes in concentration, temperature, and pressure.
  • Step 3: Learn that a catalyst is a substance that speeds up a reaction without being consumed in the process.
  • Step 4: Realize that while a catalyst helps the reaction reach equilibrium faster, it does not change the actual position of equilibrium.
  • Step 5: Conclude that adding a catalyst will NOT affect the position of equilibrium or the equilibrium constant.
