We only have rate constant for irreversible reactions but the rate constant for a reversible equilibrium reaction is the equilibrium constant and depends only on temperature but not on the concentration of the reactants of products.

For a reversible reaction, the equilibrium state is one in which the forward and reverse reaction rates are equal. In the presence of a catalyst, both the forward and reverse reaction rates will speed up equally, thereby allowing the system to reach equilibrium faster.
