Which of the following is not a characteristic property of chemical equilibrium ?

  1. A Rate of forward reaction is equal to rate of backward reaction at equilibrium.
  2. B After reaching the chemical equilibrium, the concentrations of reactants and products remain unchanged with time.
  3. C For \(A(g) \rightleftharpoons B(g), K_c\) is \(10^{-2}\). If this reaction is carried out in the presence of catalyst, the value of \(K_c\) decreases
  4. D After reaching the equilibrium, both forward and backward reactions continue to take place
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) For \(A(g) \rightleftharpoons B(g), K_c\) is \(10^{-2}\). If this reaction is carried out in the presence of catalyst, the value of \(K_c\) decreases

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

There will be no effect on equilibrium constant \(\left(K_c\right)\) in presence of catalyst. So, statement (c) is wrong.
