Dynamic Nature of Equilibrium
Introduction to the Concept of Dynamic Equilibrium
Dynamic equilibrium is a fundamental concept in chemistry that describes the state of a reversible reaction when the rates of the forward and reverse reactions are equal, leading to no net change in the concentrations of the reactants and products over time. This concept is critical in understanding how chemical systems behave under varying conditions and is pivotal in many biological and industrial processes.
In essence, dynamic equilibrium can be characterized by the following points:
