Define chemical equilibrium in terms of a reversible reaction.
Define chemical equilibrium in terms of a reversible reaction.
Chemical equilibrium is a state in which the rate of the forward reaction is equal to the rate of the reverse reaction, resulting in no net change in the concentrations of reactants and products over time.
What are the macroscopic characteristics of the forward reaction?
What are the macroscopic characteristics of the forward reaction?
The forward reaction typically involves reactants being converted into products, resulting in an increase in the concentration of products and a decrease in the concentration of reactants.
What are the macroscopic characteristics of the reverse reaction?
What are the macroscopic characteristics of the reverse reaction?
The reverse reaction involves products reacting to form reactants, resulting in an increase in the concentration of reactants and a decrease in the concentration of products.

Study Notes
Chemical Equilibrium
- Reversible reactions can reach a state of chemical equilibrium, where forward and reverse reactions occur simultaneously.
Student Learning Outcomes
- Define chemical equilibrium in terms of a reversible reaction.
- Write both forward and reverse reactions and describe their macroscopic characteristics.
Law of Mass Action
- The Law of Mass Action is a fundamental concept in chemical equilibrium.
Equilibrium Constant
- Derive an expression for the equilibrium constant and its units.
- The equilibrium constant expression can be written for a reaction.
Conditions for Equilibrium
- A necessary condition for equilibrium is that the rates of forward and reverse reactions are equal.
- Equilibrium can be recognized when no further change is observed in the concentrations of reactants and products over time.
Characteristics of Equilibrium
- Most chemical reactions do not go to completion, as products can react to form reactants.
- Chemical equilibrium is a state where forward and reverse reactions occur simultaneously, resulting in no net change.
