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.

What is mass action effect?
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.
Does the time period of oscillation depend on the displacement from the equilibrium position?
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.
What is the center of gravity of truck when its on inclined position?
The position of an object has no effect on the location of its center of gravity. It may have an effect on the truck's center of gravity, however, if the truck's load shifts on the incline. But that's the result of an actual shift in the center of gravity, not the result of the incline.
If the initial displacement from equilibrium amplitude is changed does the period of oscillation change?
Initial displacement has no effect on the period of oscillation. The period T = 2(pi)sqrt(mass/spring constant)
What conditions are present when equilibrium is reached in a solution?
* forward rate = reverse rate* constant environmental conditions (e.g.: T, P, etc.; otherwise, Le Chatelier's Principle comes into effect)* closed system
What effect does a catalyst have on a system equilibrium?
The correct answer is a simple one: The system is unaffected by a catalyst in a system in equilibrium.
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)
Is it true that a change in pressure may affect the equilibrium position but has no effect on the equilibrium constant?
No.
What is effective action?
The mass action effect is the shift in the position of equilibrium through the addition or removal of a participant in the equilibrium.
What is the effect of Copper in Cast Iron?
peralite promoter
What effect does catalyst on a reaction?
A catalyst speeds up the rate of a reaction.
What is equilibrium conversion how does it effect design of reactor?
equilibrium conversion is that which is at equilibrium concentration
What effect does the removal of heat have on the equilibrium position?
The temperature of a reaction will entirely change th equilibrium position for any given reaction. If I'm right, as you increase the temperature, the equilibrium shifts closer to the endothermic reaction as there is more heat to consume. It may also, of course, change other properties of the substances involved in the reaction, but that depends on the chemicals.
How does catalyst effect chemical change?
A catalyst alters the rate of a chemical reaction.
What effect does a catalyst having a reaction?
A catalyst speeds up the rate of a reaction.
What is mass action effect?
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.
What net effect does a chemical reaction have on a catalyst?
None: The catalyst remains unchanged, but the catalyst also speeds up the reaction.
