The role of a catalyst in a reversible reaction is to

A

Increase the rate of forward reaction

B

Decrease the rate of backward reaction

C

Alter the equilibrium constant of the reaction

D

Allow the equilibrium to be achieved quickly

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
An increase in rate of reaction in forward direction by a catalyst for a reaction in equilibrium brings in an increase in concentration of products and thus rate fo backward reaction also increase to same magnitude and so allow the equilibrium to be achieved quickly.
