Chemistry · EQUILIBRIUM
हिन्दीConsider the following statements regarding factors affecting chemical equilibria: (A) Addition of an inert gas at constant volume does not shift the equilibrium position of a gaseous reaction. (B) For an exothermic reaction, an increase in temperature decreases the numerical value of the equilibrium constant. (C) Increasing the total pressure by reducing the container volume shifts the equilibrium towards the side with fewer moles of gas. (D) A catalyst shifts the equilibrium position toward the forward direction to increase product yield. How many of the above statements are correct?
Correct answer · Option 3
Only three
Explanation
(A), (B), and (C) are correct. (D) is incorrect because a catalyst only speeds up both forward and reverse rates equally without altering the equilibrium position or yield.
