🔬 Deep Dive: Dynamic Equilibrium

At equilibrium:

Rate of forward reaction = Rate of backward reaction

Key features of equilibrium:

Dynamic — reactions are still happening in both directions
Closed system — nothing can enter or leave
Concentrations are constant — but not necessarily equal
Position can be changed — by altering conditions

What is dynamic equilibrium?

When rate of forward reaction = rate of backward reaction in a closed system

State Le Chatelier's Principle

If a system at equilibrium is disturbed, it will shift to counteract/oppose the change
