Given below are two statements
Statement I : A catalyst cannot alter the equilibrium constant (Kc)\left(\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{c}}\right) of the reaction, temperature remaining constant
Statement II : A homogenous catalyst can change the equilibrium composition of a system temperature remaining constant
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below

Options

  1. AStatement I is false but Statement II is true
  2. BBoth Statement I and Statement II are true
  3. CBoth Statement I and Statement II is false
  4. DStatement I is true but Statement II is false

Correct answer

B. Both Statement I and Statement II are true

Step-by-step solution

A catalyst can change equilibrium composition if it is added at constant pressure, but it can not change equilibrium constant.
