Unit 7 Lecture #2: Graphing and Expressing Equilibrium || AP Chemistry

This is a lecture for Mr. McCord's AP Chemistry class!

In this video, we dive deeper into chemical equilibrium! When the rate of the forward process is equal to the rate of the reverse process, the process has reached chemical equilibrium -- a dynamic process where concentrations and pressures stop changing, despite the continuing reactions occurring!

We can represent the process of reaching and maintaining a dynamic chemical equilibrium by graphing out the concentrations/partial pressures over time, graphing the rates of the forward & reverse reactions over time, or setting up an equilibrium-constant expression/reaction quotient!
