Consider the equilibrium A B in which both the forward and reverse reactions are elementary (single-step) reactions.

Question:

Consider the equilibrium A B in which both the forward and reverse reactions are elementary (single-step) reactions. Assume that the only effect of a catalyst on the reaction is to lower the activation energies of the forward and reverse reactions, as shown in Figure 15.14. Using the Arrhenius equation (Section 14.5), prove that the equilibrium constant is the same for the catalyzed reaction as for the un-catalyzed one?

Consider the equilibrium A B in which both the forward
