Adding a catalyst to a reaction at equilibrium has what effect on the equilibrium composition?
AIt causes no change
BIt shifts toward products
CIt doubles the Kc value
DIt shifts toward reactants
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. It causes no change
A catalyst speeds up both directions equally, so it only shortens the time to equilibrium and leaves the composition unchanged.
