Question 2

An industrial chemist is monitoring the hydration of ethene to produce ethanol in a closed reactor system:

C2H4(g)+H2O(g)⇌C2H5OH(g) \text{C}_2\text{H}_4(\text{g}) + \text{H}_2\text{O}(\text{g}) \rightleftharpoons \text{C}_2\text{H}_5\text{OH}(\text{g}) C2​H4​(g)+H2​O(g)⇌C2​H5​OH(g)

The system is allowed to reach a state of dynamic equilibrium.

Explain what is meant by the term 'dynamic equilibrium' in the context of this chemical reaction.
