  1. Question 1

    Q1. In the industrial Contact Process, V2O5 is used. Unlike a change in temperature, the addition of this catalyst ensures that:

    • A) The catalyst increases the yield of products
    • B) The catalyst increases the value of Kc
    • C) The catalyst only decreases the time to reach equilibrium
    • D) The catalyst shifts the equilibrium to the right

    Answer: The catalyst only decreases the time to reach equilibrium

    Explanation: A catalyst increases the rate of reaching equilibrium but does not change the Kc value, which is solely temperature-dependent.
