📐 Dynamic Equilibrium — Rate-Time Graph

Graph showing forward reaction rate decreasing and reverse reaction rate increasing over time until they meet at equilibrium where both rates are equal

Figure 1: At equilibrium, the forward and backward reaction rates are equal. Concentrations remain constant but both reactions still occur.

Practice Questions for Equilibrium (HT)

At dynamic equilibrium, which of the following is true?

A. The rate of the forward reaction equals the rate of the reverse reaction
B. The concentrations of reactants and products are always equal
C. The forward reaction stops and only the reverse reaction continues
D. All chemical reactions have stopped

Quick Recall Flashcards

What conditions are needed for equilibrium?

A closed system (nothing can escape) and a reversible reaction

What does 'dynamic equilibrium' mean?

Forward and backward reactions happen at the same rate, so concentrations stay constant
