The activation energy of an uncatalyzed reaction is Ea^1 = 92 kJ/mol, with a catalyst present it decreases to Ea^2 = 70 kJ/mol. Compute the factor by that the catalyst speeds up the reaction at 306 K:
(If the catalyzed reaction were two times faster, the factor would be 2.)

  • Effect on Equilibrium Constant

    I will also explain why the others don't work. (a) addition of catalyst - a catalyst only speeds up a reaction and it only acts to bring the reaction faster to equilibrium. (b) removal of O2 gas - it is not involved in the reaction.
