  1. Question 1

    Q1. For a reaction, if a catalyst is added, what happens to the equilibrium constant?

    • A) Increases
    • B) Decreases
    • C) Remains the same
    • D) Cannot be predicted

    Answer: Remains the same

    Explanation: A catalyst speeds up both forward and backward reactions equally, hence equilibrium constant remains unchanged.
