They catalyse both the forward and reverse reactions, so the position of equilibrium is unaffected. The system will however reach equilibrium more quickly.
In the presence of catalysts the rate of reaction is higher.
Catalysts generally speed up chemical reactions.
The equilibrium constant (Kc) is affected by changes in temperature, concentration, and volume of the reacting species. An increase in temperature typically shifts the equilibrium position for endothermic reactions, increasing Kc, while it decreases for exothermic reactions. Changes in concentration or volume can shift the equilibrium position but do not alter the value of Kc at a given temperature. Additionally, the presence of catalysts can speed up the rate of reaching equilibrium but does not affect the equilibrium constant itself.
No they do not. A catalyst is a thing (atom, molecule, element, etc.) that speeds up a chem. rxn by lowering the activation energy without being altered itself. So it only cause the reaction to occur faster, but will not have any affect on the equilibrium. Also, since the catalyst is not altered, it should 'come out' exactly as it 'went in.'
nothing
When a change is imposed on a system at equilibrium, the "position" of the equilibrium shifts in a direction that reduces the effects of that change. For example, if a reactant or product is added, the system shifts AWAY FROM that added component to use the excess up. If heat is added, the system shifts AWAY FROM that added energy energy to use the excess up. If the pressure on a system is increased, the system shifts toward the side with fewer gas molecules.
Homeostasis means equilibrium of a system.
There are three types of equilibrium: stable equilibrium, where a system returns to its original state after a disturbance; unstable equilibrium, where a system moves further away from its original state after a disturbance; and neutral equilibrium, where a system remains in its new state after a disturbance.
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.
Le Chatelier's principle says that if a system in chemical equilibrium is disturbed, the system will move in such a way as to nullify that change.
In a system, unstable equilibrium occurs when a small disturbance causes the system to move further away from its original position, while stable equilibrium occurs when a small disturbance causes the system to return to its original position. The key difference lies in how the system responds to disturbances, with unstable equilibrium leading to further movement away from equilibrium and stable equilibrium leading to a return to equilibrium.
The equilibrium of the system will be upset.
