Consider the equilibrium $CO_{(g)} + 3H_{2(g)} \rightleftharpoons CH_{4(g)} + H_2O_{(g)}$. If the pressure applied over the system increases by two-fold at constant temperature,then which of the following statements are correct?
$(A)$ Concentration of reactants and products increases.
$(B)$ Equilibrium will shift in the forward direction.
$(C)$ Equilibrium constant increases since the concentration of products increases.
$(D)$ Equilibrium constant remains unchanged as the concentration of reactants and products remain the same.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  • A
    $(A)$ and $(B)$ only
  • B
    $(A)$,$(B)$ and $(D)$ only
  • C
    $(B)$ and $(C)$ only
  • D
    $(A)$,$(B)$ and $(C)$ only

Aqueous solution of ferric nitrate when mixed with aqueous solution of potassium thiocyanate gives a red coloured solution. The intensity of the red colour becomes constant upon attaining equilibrium. Choose the correct statement when the following chemicals are added to the above solution at equilibrium:
$I$. Oxalic acid
$II$. Mercuric chloride

Assertion : $A$ catalyst does not alter the equilibrium constant of a reaction.
Reason : The catalyst forms a complex with the reactants and provides an alternate path with lower energy of activation for the reaction; the forward and the backward reactions are affected to the same extent.
