NEETChemistryChemical Equilibrium

Assertion : A catalyst does not alter the equilibrium constant of a reaction. Reason : A catalyst does not alter the position of chemical equilibrium.

Options

  1. AIf both Assertion & Reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion, then mark (1).
  2. BIf both Assertion & Reason are true but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion, then mark
  3. CIf Assertion is true statement but Reason is false, then mark (3).
  4. DIf both Assertion and Reason are false statements, then mark (4).

Correct answer

B. If both Assertion & Reason are true but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion, then mark

Step-by-step solution

A catalyst neither alters position of chemical equilibrium, nor does it alter the equilibrium constant. It just facilitates the reaction.
