Read the wording for your board, then hide it and explain Dynamic equilibrium in closed systems in your own words. Rough notes are fine. This is a self-check, with no mark or grade.
Reference: OCR
A reversible reaction reaches dynamic equilibrium in a closed system when the rates of the forward and reverse reactions become equal and the concentrations of reactants and products remain constant, although both reactions continue.
