← ScienceWhich consequence results when potassium iodide catalyzes hydrogen peroxide decomposition reaching equilibrium?
A)Oscillating reaction rates are maintained
B)Equilibrium favors hydrogen peroxide formation
C)Activation energy is permanently reduced
D)The forward/reverse rates equalize✓
💡 Explanation
Catalysis lowers the activation energy, therefore equilibrium is established when the forward and reverse reaction rates equalize due to Le Chatelier's principle affecting both rates equally, rather than sustained oscillations or unidirectional bias.
