CHEMICAL EQUILIBRIUM I. Introduction In a chemical reaction‚ when reactants are mixed together in a reaction vessel‚ the whole of the reactants do not get converted into products. After some time‚ there will come a point when a fixed amount of reactants will exist in harmony with a fixed amount of products; neither amount will change anymore. This state is called chemical equilibrium (Birk‚ 1994; Jones‚ 1987; LeMay‚ 2002). There are three characteristics of a system in chemical equilibrium: a
