Which of the following statements correctly describe how the addition of a catalyst will affect a system at equilibrium? Select all that apply.

A catalyst does not change the value of K. Equilibrium is unaffected.

If the change in [NO2] = +2x then [N2O4]eqm = (2.0 - x). x = 2.8% of [N2O4]init so the simplifying assumption is justified. Kc = 6.1 × 10-3 ≈ 4x22.0
