State
In a closed container, a liquid reaches dynamic equilibrium with its vapor when molecules leave and rejoin the liquid at equal rates.
Show
A sealed jar of water reaches steady vapor pressure, though individual molecules keep evaporating and condensing without pause.
Watch for
Equilibrium means the rates match, not that the process stopped — molecules keep moving between phases throughout.
