1
Q
Dynamic equilibrium
A
A situation where the System appears to be unchanging (there are no macroscopic changes) but there are microscopic changes which we cannot see
2
Q
Characteristics of dynamic equilibrium
A
- Occurs with reversible chemical or physical change
- At equilibrium, the rate of the forward reaction is equal to the rate of the reverse reaction
- Onservable properties remain constant
- The reaction must be in a closed system to reach equilibrium
5 there is continuous activity at the molecular levels - The same equilibrium will be attained no matter the amount of the reactant or product
