A catalyst added to a reaction at equilibrium will
Araise the value of K
Bnot change the equilibrium
Clower the value of K
Dshift it toward products
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. not change the equilibrium
A catalyst speeds forward and reverse reactions equally, so it only shortens the time to reach equilibrium.
