Homogeneous equilibrium

Homogeneous equilibrium occurs when a reversible chemical reaction happens in a single uniform phase—meaning all reactants and products are evenly mixed, like in a solution or gas. At equilibrium, the rate of the forward reaction (reactants turning into products) equals the rate of the reverse reaction (products turning back into reactants). This balance results in constant concentrations of each substance over time. In essence, the system is stable, with no net change in composition, even though reactions continue happening simultaneously. It’s a dynamic state where everything remains steady because the processes are exactly balancing each other out.
