This means that the concentrations of the reactants and products remain constant over time. The equilibrium constant (Kc) is a measure of the relative concentrations of the reactants and products at equilibrium. It is defined as the ratio of the product Show more…

For a reversible reaction, once the rate of the forward reaction and the rate of the reverse reaction are equal, the reaction has reached a state of chemical ____________. According to the Law of Mass Action, a reaction has reached chemical equilibrium once the ___________ becomes equal to a constant, called the ___________ constant.
Adi S.
When a reaction is at equilibrium the forward and reverse reactions occur at the same rate the products and reactants have the same energy content: the reaction is no longer reversible all reaction stops no more reactants are converted to products
Is a system at equilibrium if the rate constants of the forward and reverse reactions are equal?
