State
A catalyst speeds forward and reverse rates equally, changing how fast a system reaches equilibrium but never changing K or the equilibrium concentrations.
Show
A catalyzed and uncatalyzed version of the same reaction settle at identical concentrations, the catalyzed one sooner.
Watch for
A catalyst has no term in the K or Q expression, so it has nothing there to move.
Unlocks
- Nothing yet depends on this.
