Given below are two statements:
Statement $I$: $A$ catalyst cannot alter the equilibrium constant $(K_{C})$ of the reaction,temperature remaining constant.
Statement $II$: $A$ homogenous catalyst can change the equilibrium composition of a system,temperature remaining constant.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  • A
    Statement $I$ is false but Statement $II$ is true
  • B
    Both Statement $I$ and Statement $II$ are true
  • C
    Both Statement $I$ and Statement $II$ are false
  • D
    Statement $I$ is true but Statement $II$ is false

Consider the reaction,$P(aq) \rightleftharpoons Q(aq)$ with an equilibrium constant $K=1.5$. The reaction is started in a vessel with a concentration of $[P]$ of $2 \ M$ and concentration of $[Q]=0$. When the equilibrium is established,half the amount of $P$ is removed,and the reaction is allowed to re-equilibrate. The concentration of $Q$ in the vessel (in $M$) is closest to
