Conditions for Chemical Equilibrium
Chemical equilibrium is attained when the forward and reverse reaction rate is the same. It is a dynamic process. The conditions under which a system can attain chemical equilibrium are:
- The net force and torque on the system should be zero.
- The system should be in a state of constant velocity i.e. the number of forward reactions must be equal to the number of backward reactions.
- No new substances should be added or removed from the system, i.e. the system should be closed.
- The reaction should take place under constant temperature and pressure.
- There should be no net change in the amount of substance involved.
Chemical Equilibrium
Chemical Equilibrium is a condition of a reversible chemical reaction, where the rate of forward and backward reactions are equal. In Chemical equilibrium, the concentrations of the products and reactants remain constant i.e. it does not change with time. This is a state after which there are no observable changes in the properties and the system becomes constant. In this state, the forward reaction proceeds at the same rate as the reverse reaction.
In this article, we will learn more about chemical equilibrium, its types, its examples, and more, so Let’s get started.
