  Exploratory Activity: Dynamic Equilibrium
The concept of equilibrium is a very important one to scientists in all fields.
Static equilibrium refers to a condition in which the parts of a system have stopped moving, and is rare in nature.
Dynamic equilibrium refers to a condition in which the parts of a system are in continuous motion, but they move in opposing directions at equal rates so that the system as a whole does not change.

What is happening is that molecules of water in the air will occasionally hit the surface of the water and condense back into the liquid bulk water, and this occurs at the same rate at which water evaporates from the bucket.
Dynamic equilibrium works on a property of reversible change, that is to say, that liquid can evaporate into vapor, but then the vapor can recondense into liquid.
The concept of dynamic equilibrium is not limited to simple changes of state such as that described above.

Static equilibrium is changed from frame A to B as the gymnast concentrically contracts the hip abductors of the right leg, resulting in an internal action force that translates to an external ground reaction force.
Dynamic motion follows and is imbedded in a loss of equilibrium as the gymnast positively accelerates around the anteroposterior axis.
Static equilibrium does not exist when the CG and its corresponding line of gravity are outside the base of support; however, this is not the case with dynamic equilibrium.

 Dynamic equilibrium   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
This is an example of dynamic equilibrium; the rate of evaporation equals the rate of condensation.
This term can also be used to refer to a steady state (i.e., a state which isn't a true equilibrium, but does not change with time) This can only happen if the system is in contact with an environment which is not in equilibrium.
The rates (amount of molecules evaporating/condensing) of the Equilibrium stay the same at a constant temperature and pressure, but as soon as they change, the rates change as well.

 Dynamic Equilibrium
There is a balance between those two opposite reactions, and we call that kind of balance a dynamic equilibrium -- equilibrium because there is a balance, dynamic because there are changes taking place.
A saturated solution is considered to be in dynamic equilibrium because there is molecular change that is occurring in opposite directions at the same rate, such that there is no net observable change.
Thus, a saturated solution in contact with undissolved solute is an example of a dynamic equilibrium.

Dynamic equilibrium is a state where change is occurring, but in such a way as to maintain the balance.
Cooling or warming the jar disrupts the equilibrium, causing an excess in one direction or the other until a new dynamic equilibrium is established between the liquid and the humidity of the air.
Although the study of equilibrium dynamics has been fruitful in understanding many aspects of the physical and social world, the application of the new tools of chaos and nonequilibrium dynamics holds promise for increasing our understanding of many processes such as weather that were beyond the reach of the classical equilibrium studies.

A Dynamic Equilibrium is a dynamic condition when a liquid and its vapor have reached a point at which the liquidevaporates (sufficient enough kinetic energy to break bonds with liquid and turn into vapor) at the same rate that the vaporcondenses (not enough kinetic energy in molecule, so it is re-attracted into the liquid).

 Intute sciences - Chemical Sciences: Chemical Equilibrium is a Dynamic State   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
A dynamic equilibrium is a state in which there appears to be nothing happening, a state in which there is no net change, but is also a state in which chemical reactions are taking place, often at rapid rates.
The alternative expression of a dynamic chemical equilibrium is to say that the condition of equilibrium is one in which the rates of movement of the system are equal in both of the opposite directions.
Since a dynamic chemical equilibrium is the state in which both the driving forces, and the rates, of opposed reactions are equal, the concept has been approached both from the point of view of driving forces and from the point of view of reaction rates.

 Why is the universe in dynamic balance?
The equilibrium is dynamic because the system is in synchronized motion, therefore the balance is changing, yet consistent.
The dynamic equilibrium of the entire portion is seen to synchronize in a concerted uniform expansion.
They also regulate in sizes and shapes, so that dynamic balance cannot come to stand still or to breaking points, because in the end all mass and energy must be conserved within the universe, which is also fundamental to the principle and the exact working of science....

In a closed container, a dynamic equilibrium involving two phases of a pure substance can be established at certain pressures and temperatures; the rate of passage from phase 1 to phase 2 equals the rate of passage from phase 2 to phase 1.
Equilibrium is characterized by a particular ratio of the concentration of dissolved B to the pressure of B above the solution.
The equilibrium in 10-8-20 is certainly a phase equilibrium, because it involves two phases: a solid phase, represented by the salt, and a liquid phase, the solution.

 JCE 1999 (76) 559 [Apr] Introducing Dynamic Equilibrium as an Explanatory Model
Finally, the dynamic chemical equilibrium concept is offered to students as an explanatory model to account for these results.
The dynamic equilibrium concept is then readily accepted by most of them as they recognize the possibility to explain the reversibility and incomplete conversion they observed.
The students' most effective type of reasoning appeared to be based on the idea that, in a state of equilibrium, all conditions for both the forward and the backward reaction to take place are satisfied.

 Le Chatelier's Principle
If a dynamic equilibrium is disturbed by changing the conditions, the position of equilibrium moves to counteract the change.
That means that the position of equilibrium will move so that the concentration of A decreases again - by reacting it with B and turning it into C + D. The position of equilibrium moves to the right.
For a dynamic equilibrium to be set up, the rates of the forward reaction and the back reaction have to become equal.

 Rapid-equilibrium vs. dynamic methods
Under the rapid equilibrium approximation, it is assumed that the non-covalent binding of substrates to the enzyme and the dissociation of newly formed products from the intermediate complexes is infinitely faster than any chemical steps.
If a species with non-zero molar response coefficient is not formed directly in a ``slow'' step (not a ``rapid equilibrium'' step), it is still possible to compute the initial reaction velocity using the rapid equilibrium approximation.
An alternate method for computing initial reaction velocities in DynaFit is based on the simulation of pre-steady state dynamics of the (bio)chemical system.

The definition for a dynamic equilibrium is when the amount of products and reactants are constant.

– a process is called quasi-static when it follows a succession of equilibrium states; the surroundings may be irreversibly altered during the process so that after a return path, the universe ends up in a final state which differs from its initial state [PP].
– outside of the extrema, there is no possible equilibrium and the states are merely unstable: the system evolves spontaneously towards an equilibrium, stable or Metastable, although the evolution may be very slow.
a state of balance between opposing forces or actions that is either static, as in a body acted on by forces whose resultant is zero, or dynamic, as in a reversible chemical reaction when the rates of reaction in both directions are equilibrium

The second essay develops an empirical dynamic oligopoly model of the cigarette industry to study the response of firms to various anti-smoking policies and to estimate the implications for policy efficacy.
Modeling firms as coordinating in price and competing in advertising, this dynamic model captures two crucial features of the cigarette industry: (1) dynamic demand due to addiction; and (2) differences between young smokers and adult smokers in their responses to price and advertising.
Furthermore, the long run effects of anti-smoking policies on reducing smoking rates tend to be smaller than the short run effects, as firms have stronger incentives to exploit current smokers in the short run.
