A sealed, rigid reaction vessel contains an equilibrium mixture of \(\text{SO}_2\text{(g)}\), \(\text{O}_2\text{(g)}\), and \(\text{SO}_3\text{(g)}\) at \(700\text{ K}\), as represented by the equation below.

\[ 2\text{SO}_2\text{(g)} + \text{O}_2\text{(g)} \rightleftharpoons 2\text{SO}_3\text{(g)} \]

A small amount of a solid catalyst is introduced into the vessel at constant temperature and volume. Which of the following claims and justifications correctly describes the effect of adding the catalyst to the system?
