Answer:  d. Increasing the amount of benzoquinone

Explanation:  The given situation can be written in terms of the equation as follows-

Catechol + Oxygen ⇆ Benzoquinone + water (catechol oxidase is the catalyst)

Le chatleir Principle for the system of equilibrium explains that whenever a reaction is being applied to the stress , the reaction will move in that direction in which the effect of stress is being lessened.

For example if there is a decrease in the concentration of the reactants, the equilibrium will shift to that direction in which the reactants concentration is being increased in order to maintain the equilibrium.

Thus the correct option is (D) as increasing the concentration of the benzoquinone, the equilibrium will shift in the direction in which its concentration is getting decreased, that is in backward reaction, thus decreasing the rate of reaction.

Difference between Rapid and spontaneous composition​
Over [174]

Answer:

<em><u>spontaneous composition</u></em> is the ingnition

of the substance due to the repid oxidation of its on material.

There is no requirement of heat of external sources.

<em><u>Rapid composition</u></em> on the other hand release large amount of heat and light energy.

Explosion and the firecracker is the best example of Rapid composition.
