Answer:
1- Equilibrium determines the rate of reactants and products at the same time.
General expression for equilibrium:
Reactants⇌ Products
2- At equilibrium, all the reactants and products are constant.
3- At equilibrium forward and reverse reaction does not stop, in fact, it continues at all times.
4- When the concentrations of reactants and products become equal dynamic equilibrium is obtained.
For example:
A + B ⇌ C + D
In this reaction, if the concentration of reactant A has increased the equilibrium will shift to the right to form more products.
If the concentration of reactant A has decreased the equilibrium will shift to the left in the backward direction to form reactants.
Answer:At equilibrium, the forward and backward reaction rate is the same.
Explanation:The equilibrium counteracts any change in the condition of the reactant or product. The le'chatalier principle highlights three main factors that affect the state of equilibrium. The three factors are: amount of moles, concentration and pressure.If the amount of reactant is increased, the equilibrium will shift to the right in order to create a balance between the forward and backward reaction and vice versa.
