Equilibrium and Solution Chemistry · Chemical Reactions

The Dynamic Equilibrium

Understanding that chemical reactions can reach a state where forward and reverse rates are equal.

Key Questions

  1. 1Why does a reaction appear to stop even when reactants are still present?
  2. 2How does the equilibrium constant describe the extent of a reaction?
  3. 3What does it mean for a system to be in dynamic rather than static equilibrium?
