Equilibrium Position

Real World Example

Imagine you're trying to balance two kids on a seesaw at the playground so that neither side is going up or down. This situation is similar to a chemical reaction reaching equilibrium, where the reactants and products are balanced and no longer changing in concentration. Just like finding the perfect position on the seesaw where the weight of each child keeps it level, in a chemical reaction, equilibrium is the point where the forward and reverse reactions occur at the same rate, maintaining a stable balance between reactants and products.
