Equilibrium Chemistry

Equilibrium chemistry involves a balanced state in a chemical reaction where the forward process (reactants turning into products) and the reverse process (products turning back into reactants) happen at the same rate. This balance means concentrations of reactants and products stay constant over time, even though reactions continue to occur. It is crucial in understanding how substances behave in natural and industrial processes, such as in manufacturing or biological systems. The position of this balance can shift with changes in conditions like temperature, pressure, or concentration.
