Chemical equilibrium is a state in which the concentrations of reactants and products in a chemical reaction do not change over time. This state is also known as dynamic equilibrium. Here are some characteristics of chemical equilibrium: Forward and backward reactions: In a reversible reaction, the forward and backward reactions occur at the same speed. Constancy: At equilibrium, certain properties like concentration, density, pressure, and color remain constant. Fixed concentrations: At equilibrium, each reactant and product has a fixed concentration. Equilibrium constant: The ratio of...
