Identify the plot that best illustrates that a positive catalyst accelerates both forward and reverse reactions by lowering the energy barrier for each, without altering the energy levels of reactants or products (so the equilibrium position is unaffected).

Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
Catalyst lowers the activation energy barrier for both forward and reverse reactions without changing reactant/product energies or equilibrium. Plot shows identical reactant & product levels with a lower peak for the catalysed path.
