Question
In a closed system at dynamic equilibrium, what happens to the concentrations of reactants and products?
Answer
In a closed system at dynamicequilibrium, the concentrations of reactants and products remain constant, even though the forward and reverse reactions continue to occur.
Explanation
This answer effectively addresses the specificcondition of constant concentrations in a closed system at equilibrium. The question assesses the ability to apply knowledge of equilibrium to a specificscenario.
Common mistake
Confusing Dynamic Equilibrium
Students often think that dynamic equilibrium means the reactions have stopped.
Remember that dynamic equilibrium means the forward and reverse reactions are still occurring at the same rate.
