Equilibrium Intro

Reactants and products are equal in amount.

All reactants are completely converted to products.

Rates of forward and reverse reactions are equal.

Reaction stops completely and no more changes occur.

The concentrations of reactants and products are constant.

Reactants are used up and products remain.

No energy changes occur during the process.

Equilibrium only occurs in closed systems.

Shifts to counteract the disturbance and restore balance.

Always moves toward the reactants exclusively.

Immediates a complete stop of all reactions.

Only alters the concentrations of solids present.
