What does dynamic equilibrium refer to in reference to water
What does \'dynamic equilibrium\' refer to in reference to water?
Solution
At dynamic equilibrium,reactants are converted to products and products are converted to reactants at an equal and constant rate.Equilibrium is the state of equal,opposite rates, not equal concentrations.Dynamic equilibrium is the state of a reversible reaction where the forward reaction rate is equal to the reverse reaction rate, resulting in no observable net change in the system.Reactions are continuing to proceed in the forward and reverse direction dynamically.However,there is no net change in the amount of product or starting material.Dynamic equilibrium is the equilibrium between ice and water at 0 degrees celcius,where ice is melting at the same rate as the water is freezing.
