1. Equilibrium and Catalysts | 化学平衡与催化剂

Misconception: A catalyst increases the yield of products by shifting equilibrium to the right.

误区：催化剂通过使平衡右移来提高产物产率。

Correction: A catalyst provides an alternative pathway with lower activation energy for both forward and reverse reactions. It increases the rate of both directions equally, so the equilibrium constant Kc remains unchanged and the equilibrium position does not shift. The only effect is to reach equilibrium faster.

纠正：催化剂为正向和逆向反应都提供了活化能更低的途径，同等程度地加快正逆反应速率，因此平衡常数 Kc 保持不变，平衡位置不发生移动。唯一的效果是更快达到平衡。

Many students think that Kc has no units, or forget to calculate units. The units of Kc depend on the stoichiometry of the reaction and must be derived from the concentration terms in the equilibrium expression. For example, for N₂ + 3H₂ ⇌ 2NH₃, Kc = [NH₃]²/([N₂][H₂]³) has units dm⁶ mol⁻².

许多学生认为 Kc 没有单位，或
