Which consequence results when a catalyst is introduced to a high-pressure equilibrium reaction?

💡 Explanation

The reaction rate increases in both directions proportionally because a catalyst lowers the activation energy equally for both forward and reverse reactions, therefore the equilibrium position remains unchanged rather than shifting it based on mole count.
