Equilibrium
A typical chemical usually results in an equilibrium system. called a dynamic equilibrium, this is when the rate of change of the forward and reverse reactions occurs at the same rate. [1]- ↑ Ebbing, Darrell D. and Steven D. Gammon. General Chemistry: Eighth Edition. New York: Houghton Mifflin Company, 2005.In other words, the ratio of reactants and products remains the same. An equilibrium occurs because most reactions do not go to completion. (A reactions can only go to completion is the product is continually being removed from the system)
