The equilibrium constant for the reaction
\( \mathrm{N}_{2}(g)+\mathrm{O}_{2}(g) \rightleftharpoons 2 N O(g) \) is \( 4 \times 10^{-4} \) at \( 2000 \mathrm{~K} \). In presence of a catalyst the equilibrium is
attained ten times faster. Therefore the equilibrium constant in presence of catalyst of \( 2000 \mathrm{~K} \)
is

  1. A \( 4 \times 10^{-3} \)
  2. B \( 4 \times 10^{-2} \)
  3. C \( 4 \times 10^{-3} \)
  4. D \( 4 \times 10^{-4} \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \( 4 \times 10^{-4} \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Since, equilibrium constants \( (K C) \) is not affected by addition of catalyst. Therefore, the equilibrium constant value
remains \( 4 \times 10^{-4} \).
