Question

1.
A chemical reaction is in equilibrium. Addition of a catalyst would result in:
1) Increase in the rate of forward reaction.
2) Increase in the rate of reverse reaction.
3)
a new reaction pathway to reaction.
4) Increase the amount of heat evolved in the reaction.​

Answer 1

Answer:

1 Increase in the rate of reaction

Explanation:

When a catalyst is added to a reaction mixture in equilibrium, the amount of the products increase

Reason: The forward reaction becomes faster on adding the catalyst.
