Description: This video talks about how a catalyst helps get to the equilibrium condition faster for a reversible reaction. It also addresses why adding a catalyst would not change the value of the equilibrium constant. The interesting factor is that a catalyst helps increase the rate of both the forward as well

About this video

This video talks about how a catalyst helps get to the equilibrium condition faster for a reversible reaction. It also addresses why adding a catalyst would not change the value of the equilibrium constant. The interesting factor is that a catalyst helps increase the rate of both the forward as well as the backward reaction by the same amount.
