Expert Solution
Step 1

Characteristics of Chemical Equilibrium are

  • At equilibrium, the concentration of each of the reactants and the products becomes constant.
  • At equilibrium, the rate of forward reaction becomes equal to the rate of backward reaction and hence the equilibrium is dynamic in nature.
  • Chemical equilibrium can be attained from either direction, i.e., from the direction of the reactants as well as from the direction of the products.
