Question

In dynamic equilibrium, how does the equilibrium constant relate to rate constants?

Answer 1

The equilibrium constant does not indicate whether a reaction is in static or dynamic equilibrium because it is simply the concentrations of the products divided by the concentrations of the reactants. A reaction is at dynamic equilibrium if the rate of the forward reaction is equal to the rate of the reverse reaction.

Answer 2

Answer:

Because an equilibrium state is achieved when the forward reaction rate equals the reverse reaction rate, under a given set of conditions there must be a relationship between the composition of the system at equilibrium and the kinetics of a reaction (represented by rate constants). We can show this relationship using the decomposition reaction of N

. Both the forward and reverse reactions for this system consist of a single elementary reaction, so the reaction rates are as follows:
