The correct answer is a simple one: The system is unaffected by a catalyst in a system in equilibrium.

How would the equilibrium concentration of H2O be affected by adding a catalyst to the mixture?

Adding a catalyst to the mixture would not affect the equilibrium concentration of H2O. A catalyst speeds up the rate of the forward and reverse reactions equally, without changing the position of the equilibrium. This means that the equilibrium concentration of H2O would not be affected by the presence of a catalyst.


6 ways to disturb a chemical equilibrium?

Changing the temperature of the system. Altering the pressure of the system. Adding or removing reactants or products from the system. Introducing a catalyst that shifts the equilibrium position. Changing the volume of the system. Modifying the concentration of reactants or products in the system.


What is a Le Chatelier's Principle State?

Le Chatelier's Principle states that a system at equilibrium will respond to stress by shifting in a direction that minimizes the effect of the stress. This means that when a change is made to a system at equilibrium (such as temperature, pressure, or concentration), the system will adjust in order to restore equilibrium.


What does Le Châtelier's principle state?

A reaction at equilibrium will respond to balance a change. :D


What does Le Chtelier's principle state?

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.

What effect does a promoter catalyst have on the position of the equilibrium?

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.


If a catalyst is added to a system at equilibrium and the temperature and pressure remain constant?

The catalyst will accelerate the forward and reverse reactions equally, therefore not changing the position of the equilibrium. This results in the system reaching a new equilibrium faster but with the same concentrations of reactants and products as before the catalyst was added.


How does the catalyst affect the Keq value of a reacti on?

A catalyst does not affect the value of the equilibrium constant (Keq) of a reaction. The presence of a catalyst increases the rate of both the forward and reverse reactions equally, allowing the system to reach equilibrium more quickly but does not change the final equilibrium composition.


Assuming that the reaction is at equilibrium what effect does the addition of a catalyst have on the equilibruim?

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)


What happens to the value of kc when Catalyst is added to a chemical system at equilibrium?

It will remain Same Or Unchanged


If a catalyst is added to a system at equilibrium and the temperature and pressure remain constant there will be no affect on the?

Equilibrium position. The catalyst speeds up the rate at which equilibrium is reached by lowering the activation energy for both the forward and reverse reactions equally. The concentrations of reactants and products at equilibrium remain the same.


Can a catalyst change rate of reaction equilibrium position or both?

A catalyst cannot change the equilibrium position. However, it can change its rate.

What are the factors affecting equilibrium that causes shifting?

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.

What are 3 factors that affect equilibrium system?

Eqilibrium is not affected by any of the factors such as pressure,volume,catalyst,forward or backward reactions


How does adding more reactants effect equilibrium?

Le Chatelier's principle says that, when a equilibrium is disturbed by adding or removing one or more of the contents, the system will attain a new equilibrium to minimize its effect. So when reactants are added to the system, some of they will react and give products in order to gain the new equilibrium.
