The "Catalysts Shift Equilibrium" Misreading
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
A catalyst speeds how fast a reaction reaches equilibrium, but does not shift where equilibrium lies, lowering forward and reverse activation energy equally.
Show
A catalyzed reaction and its uncatalyzed version reach the identical final product-to-reactant ratio; the catalyzed one arrives sooner.
Watch for
"Catalysts speed up reactions" is easy to over-extend into "catalysts favor products" — only speed changes, not position.
