Question
If there is no change in concentration, why is the equilibrium state considered dynamic?
Solution
At chemical equilibrium the rate of two opposing reactions are equal and the concentration of. reactants and products do not change with time. This condition is not static and is dynamic because both the forward and reverse reactions are still occurring at the same rate and no macroscopic change is observed. So the chemical equilibrium is in a state of dynamic equilibrium.
