Both the forward reaction and the reverse reaction continue to occur, so chemical equilibrium is said to be what, rather than static?

• Correct Answer: dynamic
• stable
• abrasive
• fluid

Explanation: One thing to note about equilibrium is that the reactions do not stop; both the forward reaction and the reverse reaction continue to occur. They both occur at the same rate, so any overall change by one reaction is cancelled by the reverse reaction. We say that chemical equilibrium is dynamic, rather than static. Also, because both reactions are occurring simultaneously, the equilibrium can be written backward. For example, representing an equilibrium as.
