Question

<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> What is the effect of adding a catalyst to a reaction which is in equilibrium?

Answer 1

<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> The state of equilibrium does not get affected by the addition of a catalyst. This is because a catalyst speeds up the forward as well as the backward reaction to the same extent.
