What is chemical equilibrium?
Answer
Chemical equilibrium is the state of a reversible reaction where the rates of the forward and backward reactions become equal and concentrations stay constant.
The working
Definition
It is the stage in a reversible reaction at which the forward and reverse reactions proceed at the same rate.
Constant concentrations
At equilibrium the concentrations of reactants and products no longer change with time.
Dynamic nature
It is dynamic, not static, because both reactions keep occurring even though there is no net change.
Condition
It is achieved only in a closed system where no reactant or product can escape.
