  1. A system in equilibrium is balanced like a see saw • Reactant Product The equilibrium in this system is to the left hand side There is a higher concentration of reactants

  2. Reactants Products • This time the position of the equilibrium is to the right. • There would be more product than there is reactant

  3. Key things to remember • Reactions can only reach equilibrium in a closed system – if the products can’t escape. • At equilibrium the rate of the forward reaction is equal to the rate of the reverse reaction. • The concentration of the reactants and the concentration of the products remain constant BUT they do not have to be equal.
