 (iii) On addition of a catalyst the equilibrium constant value is not affected,

(iv) Equilibrium constant for a reaction with negative ΔH value decreases as the temperature increases.

Ans. (ii) The intensity of red colour increases when oxalic acid is added to a solution containing iron (III) nitrate and potassium thiocyanate.

Explanation: Oxalic Acid which is H_{2}C_{2}O_{4} reacts with the Fe^{3+} ions forming  a stable complexion that is [Fe(C_{2}O_{4})_{3}]^{3-}  thereby decreasing the concentration of free Fe^{3+}  ions and because of which concentration of  [Fe(SCN)]^{2+} decreases and thus the intensity of red colour decreases.
