If we add a catalyst to the following equation, CO + H2O + heat CO2 + H2, which way will the equilibrium shift?

No effect.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, considering the widely studied Le Chatelier's principle, we can realize that the factors affecting equilibrium are concentration, temperature and pressure and volume if the reaction is in gaseous phase and with non-zero change in the number of moles. In such a way, by adding a catalyst to given reaction will have no effect on the equilibrium direction.

Best regards.

in 1783 cavendish was working with his hydrogen gas and found that when he burned it and condensed the vapor it was water. this was very significant since it disproved the greek theory of elements completely since water was not a simple substance but the product of two gases. it was lavoisier who hearing of the experiment gave cavendish's gas the name hydrogen ("water-producer") and added that hydrogen burned by combining with oxygen and that water was a hydrogen-oxygen combination.
