Acatalyst lowers the activation energy for both the forward and the reverse reactions in an equilibrium system, so it has no effect on the equilibrium position of a system. true false

The statement is true

When we add a catalyst to a system, both the forward and reverse reaction rates will speed up equally at the same time thereby allowing the system to reach equilibrium faster. But one thing that is very important to keep in mind that the addition of a catalyst has no effect on the final equilibrium position of the reaction because it only makes the reaction faster and nothing else.

- lead + phosphoric acid = hydrogen + lead(ii) phosphate

it is a good conductor
