What is k-1?
The diagram shows the rcn. profile of a typical rcn
Rctnts.>< prods
Which of the following changes would cause both of the rate consts k1 & k-1 to be increased
a) Introducing a catalyst
b)heating the equill mix.
c)Cooling the mix.
d)Increasing the conc. of the reactions
More than one option is correct!!!!!

k value for forward rcn is k & value for backward rcn is k-1
These 2 had to be placed abv & below the arrow marks connecting rctnts & prods respectively
But i din't know how to :(
equilibrium constant, K=k1/k-1
adding a catalyst increases the rate of both the forward and backward reaction
i.e. k1 and k-1 increases but K remains constant
rate constant from arrhenius equation
r=ke-Ea/RT
So heating means increasing the temperature
