Chemical Equilibrium Definition
Rucete Chemistry in a nutshell
Definition
: In a chemical reaction, the chemical equilibrium is the condition in which both the reactants and the products are present at quantities that have no further potential to alter over time, so that there is no significant change in the system's properties.
Not all chemical reactions will continue until all available reagents have been used. If a mixture of H2(g) and I2(g) is placed in a sealed, fixed-volume container, some HI(g)
The reaction is formed by the molecules:
Subsequently, the rate of the forward and reverse reactions will be equal and there would be no more net change in the concentrations of all species present.
This situation can be accomplished from any direction, starting with only the particles occurring on one side of the reaction.
In order for no particles to enter or exit, the system needs to be locked.
Character traits of the system in equilibrium
- The system becomes close.
- No change in color, strain, temperature and the ratio of the reactants to the products can be observed.
- Both forward and reverse reactions are occurring at an equal rate.
- Both reactants and products are found together, and their concentrations remain stable.
