Explanation: Chemical equilibrium is the state of a system in which the rate of the forward reaction is equal to the rate of the reverse reaction. When a reaction is at equilibrium, all reactant and product concentrations are constant. You can think of equilibrium as this "perfect" state, as there is no tendency for the quantities of reactants and products to change during this time.
