Abstract
The thermodynamic principles we have introduced in part 2, and subsequently applied to a variety of systems, all had a common point of focus: they were targeting systems in equilibrium. A chemical reaction that has reached equilibrium still exhibits a forward and a reverse reaction, but the rates of both processes are equal, and since the reactions are of opposing direction, there is no net change.
