It'd be helpful to know what you already think. what do you think when you hear "dynamic equilibrium"? Propose something and i'll elaborate on it.

anonymous · Answer

I think dynamic equilibrium is when both forward and backward reactions happen at the same time. @aaronq

aaronq · Answer

yeah thats the dynamic part, the equilibrium part is because the rates of both reactions are equal. So there is no net change in the concentrations of either.
