Options:
  • A $2 \times 10^{-4}$
  • B $2 \times 10^{-6}$
  • C $2 \times 10^{-10}$
  • D $2 \times 10^{-5}$

The correct answer is: $2 \times 10^{-5}$
The value of the $K_C$ remains same as catalyst
does not affects the $K_C$. Only temperature can alter the value of the $K_C$ of a given reaction. Thus, the equilibrium constant $K_C$ in the presence of catalyst at the same temperature is $2 \times 10^{-5}$.
