Equilibrium is said to be attained in a reversible reaction when
- A) all the reactants have been used up
- B) all the products have been formed
- C) there is no further change in temperature
- D) the rate of forward and backward reactions are equal
Correct Answer: D) the rate of forward and backward reactions are equal
Explanation
When reversible reactions reach equilibrium the forward and reverse reactions are still happening but at the same rate, so the concentrations of reactants and products do not change. The balance point can be affected by temperature, and also by pressure for gasses in equilibrium.
