What is the effect of adding a catalyst to a reversible reaction at equilibrium?
It shifts the equilibrium to the right.
It shifts the equilibrium to the left.
It increases the rate of the reaction without changing the equilibrium position.
It decreases the rate of the reaction and shifts the equilibrium to the left.
Explanation
A catalyst speeds up both forward and reverse reactions but does not change the position of the equilibrium.
