Short explanation
Define dynamic equilibrium as the state where forward and reverse reactions continue at the same rate. This objective belongs to Equilibrium within Reversible reactions and dynamic equilibrium for AQA GCSE Chemistry 8462. A strong answer should use dynamic equilibrium accurately, explain the chemistry behind the statement, and connect the idea back to the exact command in the objective. When revising, separate this point from neighbouring Chemistry ideas by naming the relevant particle, substance, process, calculation, observation, or structure before giving the final conclusion.
