• Chemical equilibrium is a type of dynamic equilibrium in which concentrations of products and reactants remain constant.

Answer 1

• Chemical equilibrium is a type of dynamic equilibrium in which concentrations of products and reactants remain constant.

Question 2

• If a chemical equilibrium is disrupted, a new equilibrium will be established in which the overall ratios of products to reactants (raised to their respective powers) are equal.

Answer 2

• If a chemical equilibrium is disrupted, a new equilibrium will be established in which the overall ratios of products to reactants (raised to their respective powers) are equal.

Question 3
