Carbonic acid is generated by bubbling co2 into a beaker of water. If it took 5 minutes for this reaction to reach equilibrium, how would the results differ if the enzyme carbonic anhydrase was added to the beaker of water?

The reaction would be faster as the catalyst would find a faster alternative route to reach equilibrium. Catalyst affects aqueous solutions.

So less time is taken to reach equilibrium.
