Answer:
Chemical equilibrium : It is defined as the state of a reversible chemical reaction at which the rates of forward and reverse reactions are equal and the concentrations of the reactants and the products have constant values. When there is no further change in concentration of reactant and product, we say that the reaction has attained equilibrium, with the rates of forward and reverse reactions being equal.
