Which consequence results when a catalyst doubles the rate constant?

💡 Explanation

The equilibrium constant remains unchanged because a catalyst alters the reaction rate by lowering the activation energy via an alternate pathway, therefore affecting forward and reverse rates equally, rather than shifting which ratio is favored by thermodynamics.
