Please tell me if what I am saying about Keq and equilibrium is correct:
When a reaction is at equilibrium this means that the rate of product formation and the rate of reactant formation is equal. This DOESN't necessarily mean that the concentration of reactants = concentration of products. (right?). For example, a reaction is still in equilibrium when Keq>1, but in this case more products are produced than reactants..BUT the rates of both forward and reverse reactions are still the same.
So, when Keq=1, we are of course still at equilibrium, but this time the concentration of products=concentratio of reactants.
correct?😳
