Answer:
In the presence of a catalyst, both the forward and reverse reaction rates will speed up equally, thereby allowing the system to reach equilibrium faster. However, it is very important to keep in mind that the addition of a catalyst has no effect whatsoever on the final equilibrium position of the reaction.

No, the addition of catalyst in a system which has already attained equilibrium has no effects and no benefits.
Explanation:
- Since a system has already attained equilibrium, the addition of catalyst will create no other effects when in a chemical equilibrium.
- A catalyst is the substance that can "alter the rate of reaction" without getting involved in the reaction.
- It either speed up the reaction or slow the reaction rate.
- We can say that catalysts both acts as promoters or poisons in a particular reaction. Enzymes are best catalysts.
