TRUE
The equilibrium constant of a reaction is unaffected by changes in concentration, pressure, or volume, as these do not alter the intrinsic properties of the reaction at a given temperature. Additionally, the equilibrium constant remains constant regardless of the presence of catalysts, which only speed up the rate at which equilibrium is reached but do not change the position of equilibrium itself. However, the equilibrium constant is temperature-dependent; a change in temperature will alter its value.
Kc is the equilibrium constant of a chemical reaction related to concentrations. Kp is the equilibrium constant of a chemical reaction related to pressures. Generally, in normal conditions the effect of temperature is not so important.
They catalyse both the forward and reverse reactions, so the position of equilibrium is unaffected. The system will however reach equilibrium more quickly.
The equilibrium point in a wave is the position where there is no net displacement of the medium from its rest position. It is the point where the medium is at rest, unaffected by the wave passing through it.
The correct answer is a simple one: The system is unaffected by a catalyst in a system in 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.
Gold jewelry being unaffected by perspiration is a chemical property. Chemical properties describe how a substance interacts with other substances to form new substances. In this case, the lack of reaction between gold and perspiration is a chemical property related to the metal's inertness or non-reactivity.
Radioactivity is a nuclear process that involves the decay of an element's nucleus, not the rearrangement of its electrons in chemical reactions. The rate of nuclear decay is determined solely by the structure of the nucleus and is unaffected by external factors such as temperature or concentration that primarily influence chemical reactions.
The rate constant is unaffected, as demonstrated by Arrhenius equation: k = Ae^(-E/RT) where A is the pre-exponential factor (constant for a particular reaction) E is the activation energy R is the molar gas constant T is the thermodynamic temperature However, when pressure is increased at constant temperature for a gaseous reversible reaction, the concentrations of every reactant and product increase by the SAME factor. Since Kp (pressure equilibrium constant) is to remain constant, it means that the position of equilibrium will shift in such a way so as to decrease the total number of moles of gaseous species. Note: This answer can be improved by proving the last statement using a general example which, due to lack of time, I skipped. (Although some people might get the logic!!!)
true it is unaffected
Apparently Unaffected was created on 2005-11-14.
Scandinavia was relatively unaffected by the plague in Europe.
