Which consequence results from insufficient catalyst in equilibrium?

A)Equilibrium reached much more slowly
B)Equilibrium constant value will increase
C)Reverse rate exceeds forward reaction
D)Overall product yield will be higher

💡 Explanation

Reaction velocity decreases due to less frequent successful collisions through reduced activation energy – a phenomenon known as chemical catalysis – because lower catalyst concentration hinders pathway turnover. Therefore, equilibrium occurs much slower, rather than altering equilibrium’s final state.
