Twin: "Equilibrium Means Equal Concentrations"
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
Reading equilibrium as equal reactant and product concentrations is an error; only the two opposing rates are equal, and concentrations can settle almost anywhere.
Show
Sealed nitrogen dioxide and dinitrogen tetroxide reach equilibrium with far more of one gas present than the other.
Watch for
A textbook diagram showing similar-sized reactant and product boxes can wrongly suggest amounts, not rates, must match.
