The equilibrium constant Kp for the reaction PCl51g2 ∆ PCl31g2 + Cl21g2 is 3.81 * 102 at 600 K and 2.69 * 103 at 700 K. (b) How are the equilibrium amounts of reactants and products affected by (iii) addition of a catalyst?

Hello everyone today. We have the following problem. Consider the equilibrium reaction between ethanol and acetic acid. Will the equilibrium amounts of the reactions and products increase, decrease or remain the same after a catalyst is added to the mixture. So according to a principle known as the chandeliers principle, the addition of a catalyst to the addition of a catalyst has zero effect, so it has no effect on the equilibrium. Additionally, Catalysts only play one central role and that is catalysts affect the rate of the reaction, you affect the rate of the reaction. And so we can conclude that the equilibrium amounts of our reactant and our products will remain the same. And with that we have answered the question overall, I hope that this helped and until next time.
