MCQ
A catalyst increases the rate of a reversible reaction by:
Unit-9 Chemical Equilibrium
A shifting the equilibrium forward
B shifting the equilibrium backward
C speeding up both the forward and reverse reactions equally
D changing the equilibrium constant
Explanation

A catalyst lowers the activation energy for both directions equally, so equilibrium is reached faster without changing its position.
