Suppose you have two identical unopened bottles of carbonated beverage. The contents of both bottles appear to be perfectly clear. You loosen the cap of one of the bottles and hear a hiss as gas escapes, and at the same time gas bubbles appear in the liquid. The liquid in the unopened bottle still appears to be perfectly clear. Explain these observations using the concept of equilibrium and Le Chteliers principle. Remember, a carbonated beverage contains carbon dioxide gas dissolved in a liquid under pressure.

. Explain what it means that a reaction has reached a state of chemical equilibrium. Explain why equilibrium is a dynamic state: Does a reaction really “stop” when the system reaches a state of equilibrium? Explain why, once a chemical system has reached equilibrium, the concentrations of all reactants remain constant with time. Why does this constancy of concentration not contradict our picture of equilibrium as being dynamic? What happens to the rates of the forward and reverse reactions as a system proceeds to equilibrium from a starting point where only reactants are present?
