My nephew loves asking me science things, mostly because I always find a fun analogy to explain. Today I was explaining from where comes the gas of soda and I bumped with the concept of chemical equilibrium and he asked about that. Now I’m trying to find a creative analogy to explain chemical equilibrium to him the next time we meet.

At chemical equilibrium, the rate of the forward reaction is equal to the rate of the reverse reaction. Take
H2O <-> H+ + OH-. In this case, there is a point at which water will be breaking down at a rate equal to its formation rate.
