Core Concept ๐ŸŒŸ

Dynamic Equilibrium occurs when the rates of forward and reverse reactions are equal. It's like a dance battle between two teams, where each side is bringing their best moves but no one is winning or losing!

Reversible Reactions ๐Ÿ”

Reactions can go both ways: from reactants to products and from products back to reactants! In chemical equations, we show this with the equilibrium sign (โ‡Œ). For instance - Liquid Bromine (Gaseous Bromine) Liquid Bromine - Br2โ€‹(l) โ‡Œ Br2โ€‹(g) (Gaseous Bromine) 

Dynamic Equilibrium ๐ŸŒก

It's a state where everything seems calm and unchanging, but there's a ton of action happening microscopically! Imagine a game of musical chairs where everyone is swapping chairs but the number of people sitting and standing remains constant!

 

๐Ÿ‘‰ Real-world Example

Place liquid bromine in a flask, and it will evaporate, increasing gaseous bromine concentration. But, some gaseous molecules will also condense back. When the rate of evaporation equals the rate of condensation, voilà, Dynamic Equilibrium!

Two Types of Equilibria ๐ŸŽญ

  • Heterogeneous Equilibrium: Different phases involved (e.g. Liquid โ‡Œ Gas, Solid โ‡Œ Aqueous).
  • Chemical Equilibrium: Reaction involving the interconversion of reactants and products.
