In a chemical system, there are forward and reverse reactions occurring constantly. As the forward reactions progress, the increased amount of products allows for more and more reverse reactions. Once the rate of the forward and reverse reactions are equal, the system is at equilibrium. The forward and reverse reactions continue at equal but opposite rates; however, there are no further changes in the concentration of the products and reactants.

∙ 12y agoIf a chemical reaction has reached equilibrium, then it means that the rate of forward reaction is equal to rate of backward reaction.
It means that substances on left hand side and right hand side of chemical reaction are being formed at the same rate.
The ratio of the products to reactants remains constant over time.

What are used to show what happens during a chemical reaction?
Scientific experiments are used to show what happens during a chemical reaction.
How do chemical manufacturers make the reaction continue to make ammonia once the reaction has reached equilibrium?
By Le Chetalier's principle - remove product. This encourages the reaction to produce more product to balance the equilibrium.
What happens to the individual atoms in a chemical reaction?
They are rearranged
What correctly describes any chemical reaction that has reached equilibrium?
Forward and reverse reactions continue with no effect on the concentraction of the reactants and products.
What happens during every chemical reaction?
all chemical reactions.....they burn and dissolve
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 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.
In chemical equilibrium what happens when Q is greater than K?
If Q > K, the reaction will move towards the reactants If Q < K, the reaction will move towards the products
Which part of a chemical reaction is most changed by enzyme activity?
Reaction equilibrium
What happens after equilibrium?
Rate of forward reaction=rate of backward reaction
When a chemical reaction and it and reverse are occurring at the same time and at the same rate the reaction has achieved?
equilibrium
When does a chemical reaction reaches equilibrium?
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
Chemical equilibrium results if?
forward reaction rate equals reverse reaction rate
