Question

Watch the following video: Then make a prediction about what will happen in the reaction box of your lab simulation when 50As and 50 BC's are added. Discuss what Dynamic Equilibrium is. Do this prior to actually adding them into the current amounts box on the right of the screen.

Record your prediction using the audio player. If your mic is broken, webmail me your answer to this question. Then call technology to have it fixed: 800-382-6010

I cannot watch videos or access external content. However, I can help explain dynamic equilibrium and assist you in making an educated guess about the reaction.

Dynamic equilibrium is a state in a reversible reaction where the rate of the forward reaction is equal to the rate of the reverse reaction. This means that the concentrations of reactants and products remain constant over time, even though both reactions are still occurring.

In a lab simulation where you add 50 units of substance A (let's say, 50 As) and 50 units of substance B (50 BC’s), the prediction would depend on the specifics of the reaction being simulated. Generally, if the system is at equilibrium prior to adding the substances, introducing additional amounts might shift the balance.

If the reaction can proceed in both directions (for example, A + B ⇌ C + D), adding more reactants (A and B) could initially drive the reaction toward producing more products (C and D). Eventually, the system may reach a new dynamic equilibrium, with different concentrations of reactants and products compared to before the addition.

If you need further assistance or have specific parameters of the reaction or lab simulation you're working with, feel free to share!
