Question

A chemical system is in equilibrium. The addition of a catalyst would result is : (A) increase the amount of heat evolved in the reaction (B) a new reaction pathway to reaction (C) increase in the rate of reverse reaction (D) increase in the rate of forward reaction

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

A catalyst does not change the equilibrium constant but it provides a new reaction pathway by decreasing energy of activation.

Q. A chemical system is in equilibrium. The addition of a catalyst would result is :

increase the amount of heat evolved in the reaction

a new reaction pathway to reaction

increase in the rate of reverse reaction

increase in the rate of forward reaction

A catalyst does not change the equilibrium constant but it provides a new reaction pathway by decreasing energy of activation.
