The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the equilibrium constant \( K_p \) for the reaction: \[ \text{CO}_2(g) + \text{C}(s) \rightleftharpoons 2\text{CO}(g) \] at a temperature of 1090 K, we need to analyze the effect of a catalyst on the equilibrium constant. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Equilibrium Constant**: The equilibrium constant \( K_p \) is defined for a given reaction at a specific temperature. It is expressed in terms of the partial pressures of the gaseous products and reactants. 2. **Effect of Temperature**: The value of \( K_p \) is dependent only on the temperature of the system. If the temperature remains constant, \( K_p \) will not change regardless of the conditions of the reaction. 3. **Role of a Catalyst**: A catalyst speeds up the rate of both the forward and reverse reactions equally. It does not affect the position of equilibrium or the value of the equilibrium constant. 4. **Conclusion**: Since the question states that a catalyst is used and the temperature remains constant, the equilibrium constant \( K_p \) will not change. Therefore, the correct answer is that the equilibrium constant value does not change. ### Final Answer: The equilibrium constant value does not change when a catalyst is used at constant temperature.
