Reversible reactions and dynamic equilibrium
Question
- A. The reaction has stopped.
- B. The concentrations of reactants and products are changing.
- C. The forward and reverse reactions are occurringat equal rates.
- D. Only the products are present.
Answer
The forward and reverse reactions are occurringat equal rates.
Explanation
The correct answer is The forward and reverse reactions are occurringat equal rates.. This answer directly addresses the question: Which of the following statements is true about dynamic equilibrium? It matches the approved Chemistry 8462 learning objective and the linked subtopic. The other options are incorrect because they either change the rate, catalyst, reversible reaction, equilibrium, or graph context, or they do not answer the exact point being tested.
Common mistake
Misinterpreting Equilibrium Graphs
Students often confuse the point at which the concentrations of reactants and products remain constant with the point where the reaction has stopped.
Remember that equilibrium means the forward and reverse reactions are still occurring at the same rate, even though the concentrations are constant.
