The effects on the concentration of SO3 gas when the following changes occur after initial equilibrium has been established in this system (N. C. = no change) by adding a catalyst.

2SO2 (g) + O2 (g) 2SO3 (g) + 46.8 kcal

So that even though there is an addition of catalyst, no change in reactants or products has occurred because catalyst only provides a faster pathway for the reaction to occur.
