Chemical Equilibrium

Chemical Equilibrium Chemical Equilibrium In a chemical reaction, chemical equilibrium is the state in which both reactants and products are present at concentrations which have no further tendency to change with time. Usually, this state results when the forward reaction proceeds at the same rate as the reverse reaction. The reaction rates of the forward and reverse reactions are generally not zero but, being equal, there are no net changes in the concentrations of the reactant and product. This process is called dynamic equilibrium. Forward Reaction Chemical equilibrium is a condition which means that the rate of the forward reaction is equal to the rate of the backward reaction. Equilibrium reaction is one in which there is no change in the concentration of the reactant or product. Though concentration of the reactant and the product remains the same, the forward reaction and the backward reaction take place simultaneously. Thus chemical equilibrium is a Dynamic one, that is, both the forward reaction and the back ward reaction take place simultaneously.
