Chemical Equilibrium- When a reaction gets to the point where forward and reverse reactions have the same rates. A. Dynamic Equilibrium-Reaction has not stopped, yet they are in equilibrium. Continues to go back and forth. -No matter the starting composition of reactants and products, the same ratio of concentrations is achieved at equilibrium. At equilibrium, there will be a constant equal to ratio of products and reactants raised to their coefficient. B. Equilibrium Constants- The relationship between equilibrium constants and energy difference between reactant and products. This does not depend on the path of getting there.These notes represent a detailed interpretation of the professor’s lecture. GradeBuddy is best used as a supplement to your own notes, not as a
