equilibrium means the rate of forward reaction = rate of backward reaction...
there are three types of equilibrium
1. amount of products > amount of reactants
2. amount of products = amount of reactants
3. amount of products < amount of reactants

Why is chemical disequilibrium essential for life?
Chemical reactions need to keep moving in one direction or the other-- either giving off energy, or using it up. If chemical reactions were at equilibrium, no energy is being absorbed nor given off, therefore nothing would happen.
What kind of organism reaches equilibrium?
A dead organism
What information does the rate constant give the rate law?
It tells how much the reaction rate is affected by concentrations.
What effect does the removal of heat have on the equilibrium position?
The temperature of a reaction will entirely change th equilibrium position for any given reaction. If I'm right, as you increase the temperature, the equilibrium shifts closer to the endothermic reaction as there is more heat to consume. It may also, of course, change other properties of the substances involved in the reaction, but that depends on the chemicals.
Example of stress on a chemical equilibrium in your body?
An example of stress on a chemical equilibrium in the body is dehydration. The water level in the cell decreases, which causes the cell to shrink and become hypertonic.
When a chemical reaction and it and reverse are occurring at the same time and at the same rate the reaction has achieved?
equilibrium
What is difference between physical and chemical balance?
The difference is that chemical equilibrium is the equilibrium of products and reactants in a reaction while physical equilibrium is the equilibrium of the physical states of the same substance.
What describes a reaction that reaches equilibrium?
The product and reactants reach a final, unchanging level.
When a chemical reaction and it's reverse occur at the same time and rate the reaction is said to be?
When the reaction reaches a point where reactants produced is equal to products produced the reaction is said to be in equilibrium. If that is what you afre talking about
What are Kp aND KC?
Kc is the equilibrium constant of a chemical reaction; Kp is the equilibrium constant of a chemical reaction at constant pressure.
Chemical equilibrium is a form of equilibrium?
because in chemical equilibrium the rate of forward reaction is = the rate of reversed reaction so in both sides at left side and right side those products which are formed are in same quantities that's why chemical equilibrium is the form equilibrium
When does chemical equilibrium occur?
When reactants and the products that are also contributing to a chemical reaction show no sign over change over time, chemical equilibrium has taken place. Chemical equilibrium can be called a "steady state reaction". It must be noted, however, that just because nothing has changed, it doesn't necessarily indicate that the interaction has stopped.
What is meant by law of equilibrium?
Law of equilibrium - The principle that (at chemical equilibrium) in a reversible reaction the ratio of the rate of the forward reaction to the rate of the reverse reaction is a constant for that reaction.
What does the value of the equilibrium constant indicate?
When a chemical reaction reach the equilibrium she can not continue spontaneously.
Which part of a chemical reaction is most changed by enzyme activity?
Reaction equilibrium
The reaction shown below reaches equilibrium with the concentrations H2O2 equals 0.55 H2O equals 0.75 O2 equals 0.15 What is the equilibrium constant for this reaction?
0.28
The reaction shown below reaches equilibrium with the concentrations H2O2 equals 0.05 H2O equals 0.11 O2 equals 0.07 What is the equilibrium constant for this reaction?
0.34
