>Athel, I have presented a few equations. Please tell me which one is wrong.
it was pretty clear form Athel's post no change of equilibrium constant is possible.
but if you've got problems with your equqtions:
>Let us assume that what the second law says is correct, that the equilibrium

this simplification is not valid and
leads to utter nonsense that followed
>the catalyzed forward reaction is determined by the first step - bonding of

>> V+ = K+(A)(E) = K-(C)(E) = V- /2/
why not valid ? - because in /2/ (B) suddenly disappeared. so according to
/2/ concentration of B can changed to anything. then, according to /2/ equilibrium
concentrations of A and C should not change. utter nonsense.
