Question

Why does equilibrium happen?

Answer 1

Equilibrium:

1. Equilibrium is characterized as a state of equilibrium or a stable situation in which conflicting forces balance one another out and no changes occur.
2. It happens when the concentration rate of the forward reaction is equal to the backward concentration rate.
3. It is essential to maintain the stability of a chemical reaction.
4. Chemical equilibrium is a dynamic process, meaning the rate at which the reactants are converted back into products in the reverse reaction is equal to the rate at which the products are formed in the forward reaction.

It happens when:

• A reversible reaction moves in the same quantity both backward and forwards at once, and chemical equilibrium occurs.
• A chemical process seems to cease, it has reached its equilibrium.
• The amounts of reactants or products don't vary, a reaction is in equilibrium.
