Document Summary

At the same ime a reacion is consuming reactants, it is also breaking up products: when the amount of products is low, the decomposiion reacion will slow down, and the composiion reacion will speed up. Eventually the rate of decomposiion will equal the rate of composiion and the rate of one reacion exactly balances the other, known as dynamic equilibrium. At dynamic equilibrium the rate of the forward and reverse reacions are equal to each other: dynamic meaning individual molecules react coninuously, equilibrium meaning, there is no net change in the system. If the forward reacion went to compleion, there would be no reactants, if the reverse reacion went to compleion there would be no product, instead we have equal amounts of both. Each the forward and reverse reacions have their own keq. At equilibrium the rates equal each other so we can make. The concentraions you arrange are products over reactants, and we don"t include solids or gases.
