Depending on the reaction, we could monitor the progress towards equilibrium by observing the concentration of the reactant and the product are equal with time.
<h3>What is equilibrium?</h3>
Equilibrium is a stage of reaction in which the rate of forwarding reaction is equal to the rate of backward reaction and equilibrium is stable at the reversible state of mode.
The concentration of reactant and product must also be equal or the same as the time then only it can be an equilibrium reaction.
Therefore equilibrium depends on the reaction, the concentration of the reactant and the product are equal with time.

Answer:
Kb = 6.22x10⁻⁷
Explanation:
Triethanolamine, C₆H₁₅O₃N, is in equilibrium with water:
C₆H₁₅O₃N(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ C₆H₁₅O₃NH⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq)
Kb is defined from concentrations in equilibrium, thus:
Kb = [C₆H₁₅O₃NH⁺] [OH⁻] / [C₆H₁₅O₃N]
The equilibrium concentration of these compounds could be written as:
[C₆H₁₅O₃N] = 0.486M - X
[C₆H₁₅O₃NH⁺] = X
[OH⁻] = X
pH is -log [H⁺], thus, [H⁺] = 10^-pH = 1.820x10⁻¹¹M
Also, Kw = [OH⁻] ₓ [H⁺];
1x10⁻¹⁴ = [OH⁻] ₓ [H⁺]
1x10⁻¹⁴ = [OH⁻] ₓ [1.820x10⁻¹¹M]
5.495x10⁻⁴M = [OH⁻], that means <em>X = 5.495x10⁻⁴M</em>
Replacing in Kb formula:
Kb = [5.495x10⁻⁴M] [5.495x10⁻⁴M] / [0.486M-5.495x10⁻⁴M]
<em>Kb = 6.22x10⁻⁷</em>
