 Catalysts provide a reaction mechanism with lower activation energy, so it has a shorter hump and reaches the potential energy of products faster. Catalysts provide a reaction mechanism with lower activation energy, so it has a shorter hump and reaches the potential energy of products faster.

 At **equilibrium**, concentration of reactants and products remain constant. The concentrations do not have to be in equal amounts. The forward and reverse reactions occur at equal rates, so there is no observable change in concentration. At **equilibrium**, concentration of reactants and products remain constant. The concentrations do not have to be in equal amounts. The forward and reverse reactions occur at equal rates, so there is no observable change in concentration.
