Answer:
the [product] = [reactants]
rate of reaction of products = rate of reaction of reactants
Step-by-step explanation:
The equilibrium state is a state of rest or motion of system. A chemical equilibrium is dynamic in nature.
These are the conditions for a system to be in equilibrium:
- it must be involved in reversible chemical processes no matter the extent of the reversibility.
- the rate of forward reaction must be equal to that of the backward process.
- The system is closed i.e energy cannot be exchanged.
- The free energy change of the system is zero
- There is no change in the concentration of each of the species in equilibrium with respect to time. This implies that concentration is constant.
- The system offers resistance to any change in any of the factors governing the equilibrium.
