← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a catalyst lowers $K_c$ ratio?
A)Faster forward, reverse reaction change✓
B)Decreases temperature related equilibrium constant
C)Overall activation increases the reverse
D)Equilibrium shifts favor reverse reaction
💡 Explanation
A catalyst cannot alter the equilibrium constant, therefore it lowers the activation energy rather than changing the standard state Gibbs free energy. By accelerating both forward and reverse reaction rates through transition state stabilization, equilibrium is attained quicker due to balanced changes.
