2. Equilibrium constant (K) Indicates the extent of the reaction, NOT the rate,
and is temperature dependent
3. 5 main features of equi- 1. Equilibrium is dynamic: both fwd and bwd rxns
librium are still occurring
2. Equilibrium is achieved in a closed system:
reactants and products are not influenced by ex-
ternal factors and can still react and recombine
with each other
3. The concentration of reactants is constant at
equilibrium: they are produced and destroyed at
a constant rate.
4. No change in macroscopic properties: color or
density do not depend on the concentration
5. Equilibrium is direction independent:
