Why doesn't the concentration of products or reactants change when a reaction is at dynamic equilibrium?

At dynamic equilibrium in a closed system (for example, in the Haber process to make ammonia), both the forward and backward reactions continue to occur. However, both reactions happen at the same rate. Ther...

A student titrates 25.00 cm3 of hydrochloric acid with 28.60 cm3 sodium hydroxide solution of concentration 0.200 moles per dm3. The equation for the reaction is: HCl + NaOH to NaCl + H2O. Calculate the concentration of the hydrochloric acid.

From the equation given in the question we can see that one mole of hydrochloric acid (HCl) reacts with one mole of sodium hydroxide (NaOH). The first thing to do is to work out the number of moles of sodium...
