Final Equilibrium Concentrations

Definition

The final equilibrium concentrations refer to the concentrations of reactants and products in a chemical reaction when the system has reached equilibrium. At this point, the rate of forward reaction equals the rate of reverse reaction.

Concentration:

This refers to how much solute is present per unit volume of solution. It's like how many players you have on your tug-of-war team.

Chemical Equilibrium:

This is the state where the rates of forward and backward reactions are equal, just like when neither team in tug-of-war is able to pull further.

Rate Constant (k): This term represents how fast a chemical reaction proceeds. It's similar to how quickly each team pulls on their side of the rope.
