Equilibrium

A reversible chemical reaction reaches equilibrium when reactant and product concentrations remain constant, despite ongoing reactions. This state is called dynamic equilibrium. The forward and reverse reaction rates are balanced, resulting in no overall change. External factors like pressure and temperature can influence equilibrium.

How do the concentrations of reactants and products behave at equilibrium?

What is meant by dynamic equilibrium in a reversible chemical reaction?

What happens to the rate of the forward and reverse reactions at equilibrium?

Explain the significance of the term 'no overall change' in the context of equilibrium.

What external factors can affect the equilibrium of a chemical reaction?
