State
Dynamic equilibrium is the state where a reaction's forward and reverse rates are equal, so concentrations stop changing even as both reactions keep occurring.
Show
In a sealed bottle, liquid bromine evaporates and gas bromine condenses at matched rates once equilibrium is reached.
Watch for
Assuming equilibrium is reached the instant reactants and products first mix ignores the time needed for rates to converge.
