Equilibrium is busy, not still

An interactive lesson with 5 steps, about 5 minutes: you predict, drag and solve, with instant feedback on every answer. It runs in your browser and needs JavaScript.

What you’ll learn

• Dynamic equilibrium: forward and reverse rates equal, both still running.
• For A ⇌ B, K = [B]/[A] = k_forward / k_reverse.

Steps

1. Two tanks
2. At equilibrium
3. Set the balance
4. Rates to K
5. Starting from the other side
