Question

For a reaction at equilibrium, which of the following is the best way to think about it?

a. forward rate = reverse rate
b. The concentration of intermediates becomes negligible.
c. The concentration of reactants becomes negligible.
d. The concentration of reactants = concentration of products.
e. The concentration of reactants and products are not related.

Answer 1

Answer: Option A. forward rate = reverse rate

Explanation: for a system to be in dynamic equilibrium, it means that the rate of formation of product is the same as the rate of formation of reactant.
