Essential Chemistry for IGCSE - Chemical Reactions (Section 5 - No. 50)
What happens when a catalyst is added to a reversible reaction?
The equilibrium shifts to the right.
The equilibrium shifts to the left.
The rate of both the forward and reverse reactions increases equally.
The reaction slows down.
