Which outcome occurs when a catalyst is introduced to an endothermic reaction already at equilibrium?

A)Equilibrium shifts favoring the products
B)Equilibrium shifts favoring the reactants
C)Equilibrium position remains unchanged
D)Reaction immediately proceeds to completion

💡 Explanation

Catalysts lower the activation energy of both forward and reverse reactions equally; therefore, the equilibrium position remains unchanged because the forward and reverse reaction rates increase proportionately, rather than shifting towards products or reactants.
