Chapter 7.1
Dynamic Equilibrium: When Nothing Seems to Change
Seal water in a jar and the level stops falling, yet molecules are still leaving the surface every instant. Nothing has stopped; two opposite processes have simply reached the same speed.

By the end
- 01Recognize reversible processes and describe equilibrium as equal forward and reverse rates
- 02Read concentration-, pressure-, or rate-versus-time graphs as a system approaches equilibrium
- 03Predict the net direction of a reversible reaction from the relative forward and reverse rates
