Chemical Equilibrium Worksheet

Chemical Equilibrium occurs only on reversible reaction. After finding that some chemical reaction are reversible, the concept of chemical equilibrium was developed.

The law of chemical equilibrium shows the direction of chemical reaction and also defines the quantities of reactant and products that will remain after the reaction is complete.

Here, you can find some questions related to “Chemical Equilibrium” and their answers:
