What is meant by Dynamic Equilibrium ?

Dynamic Equilibrium

At equilibrium, the properties like color, concentration of reactants and
Characteristics of a chemical equilibrium

1.       For a given chemical reaction, the equilibrium can be attained from reactants to products to reactants i.e. from either direction.
2.       The equilibrium can be attained only if the system is closed.
3.       A catalyst does not affect the state of EQULIBRIUM. However, it helps to bring the equilibrium earlier.
4.       There is no change in observable properties like color after the sate of equilibrium.
5.       Equilibrium being dynamic nature has equal  rate of forward and backward reaction. Hence, the concentration of reactants and products remain unchanged.
6.       An equilibrium is characterized by a constant, called equilibrium constant.
products do not change with time. The reaction seems to stop but it is not true. It is because the rate of forward reaction is equal to backward reaction at equilibrium. So, we can say Equilibrium has dynamic nature.
