Equilibrium forward and backward rates are
equal
thus net rate 0
Rate in terms of equilibrium is the number of
molecules reacting per unit time
Final equilibrium concentrations must be sane wherever
the reaction is started from
Equilibrium is dynamic
composition is unchanged
but reactions are still
occurring
Equilibrium constant expression

, If we multiply the reaction by n for equilibrium
constant we simply get Knc
From the equation we can conclude that if Kpl
favors the products
equilibrium
similarly if K 41 equilibrium favors reactants
Best way to to understand
optimising reaction is
how temperature pressure and concentration of
reactants affect the equilibrium position
Homogeneous equilibrium Reactants and Products are
in the same phase
Heterogeneous equilibrium Reactants and products exist in
different phases gas liquid solid
Heterogeneous chemical equilibria
consider saturated solution in equilibrium with solid
