At equilibrium the reactant and product concentrations are constant because a change in one direction is balanced by a change in the other as the forward and reverse rates become equal: (MTS 5/5/2018) When a chemical system is at equilibrium, Group of answer choices the concentrations of the reactants and products have reached constant values. the concentrations of the reactants are equal to the concentrations of the products. the forward and reverse reactions have stopped. the reaction quotient, Q, has reached a maximum. None of the choices.

Answer:

concentrations of the reactants and products have reached constant values

Step-by-step explanation:

When a reaction is carried out in a closed system, it attains dynamic equilibrium after sometime. We define dynamic equilibrium as a situation in which the forward and reverse reactions proceed at the same rate.

When this occurs, the concentration of the reactants and products remain fairly constant. Hence the answer.
