Dynamic Equilibrium

Dynamic equilibrium refers to a state of balance in a system where all forces or processes are balanced, yet everything continues to move or change. In this context, it describes a situation where reactions occur at equal rates in both directions, keeping concentrations stable. For example, in a sealed container of gas, molecules constantly collide and exchange places, but the overall amount of gas remains constant. This concept is important in various fields, including chemistry and ecology, as it illustrates how systems can be stable while still being active and responsive to changes.
