3.20C: Know the Characteristics of a Reaction at Dynamic Equilibrium are: the Forward and Reverse Reactions Occur at the Same Rate, the Concentrations of Reactants and Products Remain Constant

DYNAMIC EQUILIBRIUM: Condition that exists when rate of forward and backward reaction in a reversible reaction mixture is equal

s

FEATURES OF REACTIONS IN DYNAMIC EQUILIBRIUM:

s

• Forward and backward reactions occur at the same rate
• Concentrations of reactants and products remain constant respectively (unchanged)
• Colour of reactants and products remain constant respectively (unchanged)
