By definition a catalyst cannot affect equilibrium because although a catalyst can speed up a chemical reaction, it cannot change the thermodynamics of it, and equilibrium is determined solely by thermodynamics. A catalyst may help a system reach equilibrium more quickly, but it will not change it. One possible way a catalyst could affect equilibrium is by introducing a catalyst that affects a different reaction involving the substrate or products of the original reaction, but this would be cheating since the system would no longer be closed.
Factors that can cause a shift in equilibrium include changes in concentration of reactants or products, changes in temperature, changes in pressure (for gases), and the addition of a catalyst. When these factors are altered, the equilibrium position will shift in order to minimize the effect of the change and restore equilibrium.
The law of mass action stipulate that the rate of a chemical reaction is directly proportional to the product of the activities (or concentrations) of the reactants.
Le Chatelier's principle comes into effect when a system at equilibrium is disturbed by changes in temperature, pressure, or concentration. The principle states that the system will adjust to counteract the imposed change and restore equilibrium.
As long as angular amplitude is kept small, the period does not depend on the angular amplitude of the oscillation. It is simply dependent on the weight. It should be noted that to some extent period actually does depend on the angular amplitude and if it gets too large, the effect will become noticeable.
Le Chatelier's principle states that when a system at equilibrium is disturbed by a change in temperature, pressure, or concentration of reactants or products, the system will shift to counteract the disturbance and restore equilibrium. This means the system will adjust its conditions in order to minimize the effect of the disturbance and return to equilibrium.
The correct answer is a simple one: The system is unaffected by a catalyst in a system in equilibrium.
Factors that can cause a shift in equilibrium include changes in concentration of reactants or products, changes in temperature, changes in pressure (for gases), and the addition of a catalyst. When these factors are altered, the equilibrium position will shift in order to minimize the effect of the change and restore equilibrium.
a catalyst lowers the activation energy for both the forward and reverse reaction. however, it does not change the potential energy of the reactants or products. it also does not affect the heat of reaction (delta h)
The mass action effect is the shift in the position of equilibrium through the addition or removal of a participant in the equilibrium.
Yes, a change in pressure may affect the equilibrium position by shifting the reaction towards the side with more moles of gas to relieve the pressure change, but it has no effect on the equilibrium constant because the equilibrium constant is determined solely by the reaction's intrinsic properties.
Changes in concentration, pressure, or temperature can all affect the equilibrium position of a reaction. Adding or removing reactants or products, changing the volume of the container, or altering the temperature can lead to shifts in equilibrium to favor the formation of products or reactants. Additionally, catalysts do not affect the position of equilibrium but can speed up the attainment of equilibrium.
Le Chatelier's principle states that a system at equilibrium will respond to a disturbance by shifting its equilibrium position in a way that minimizes the effect of the disturbance. This means if you change the conditions of a reaction at equilibrium, the system will adjust to counteract that change and establish a new equilibrium.

A catalyst speeds up the rate of a reaction.
equilibrium conversion is that which is at equilibrium concentration
A reaction at equilibrium will respond to balance a change. :D
A catalyst alters the rate of a chemical reaction.
