Which outcome results when adding a catalyst to a reaction?

💡 Explanation

Adding a catalyst provides an alternate reaction pathway with a lower activation energy via transition state stabilization; this enhances the reaction rate because the same equilibrium position arises out, therefore equilibrium constants remain the same, rather than enthalpy changing.
