Which of the following statements is false regarding the equilibrium constant?(a) it has a definite value for every chemical reaction at a particular temperature(b) it is independent of initial concentrations of the reactants(c) it is dependent on the presence of a catalyst(d) if K is the equilibrium constant for a backward reaction then the forward reaction’s equilibrium constant is 1/kI got this question in an interview.Origin of the question is Equilibrium in Physical Processes in division Equilibrium of Chemistry – Class 11

Answer» RIGHT option is (C) it is dependent on the presence of a CATALYST

Explanation: Equilibrium constant is independent of the presence of a catalyst, so the statement REGARDING the catalyst is wrong. A catalyst helps reaction to attain its equilibrium faster but does not alter the equilibrium constant.
