Under equilibrium condition, when does the concentration of the reactant is equal to the concentration of product?

Equilibrium has to do with kinetics. This refers to the point when the rate of the forward reaction is equal to the rate of the reverse reaction. The concentrations have nothing to do with equilibrium. Chad explains it well.

What is the concept related to thermodynamic then? I thought lowercase k is kinetics, and capital case K is thermodynamic...

 

[discensdentibus]

Keq = equilibrium constant


k= rate constant
