Chemical Kinetic View of Equilibrium Reaction Formula

The Chemical kinetic equilibrium of a reaction is not a specific single state, but a particular dynamic equilibrium that is achieved when the rates of the forward and reverse reactions become equal.

Consider the elementary reversible reaction

A + B = R +S

Rate of formation of R by forward reaction.

r_R = K_1 C_A C_B 

Rate of disabler of R by reverse reaction

-r_R = K_2 C_R C_S

Kinetic View of Equilibrium for Elementary Reaction Formula

At equilibrium, the rate of formation of R is zero

r_R Forword + r_R Revers = 0

K_1 C_A C_B - K_2 C_R C_S

K_1 C_A C_B = K_2 C_R C_S

K_1 / K_2 = (C_A C_B) / (C_R C_S)

We know that K_1 / K_2 = K_c

K_c = (C_A C_B) / (C_R C_S)

But at equilibrium

K_c = K_1 / K_2

From the point of view of chemical kinetics, the system will be in equilibrium if the rates of change of the forward and reverse elementary reactions are equal.
