Consider the following chemical reaction:2CH4(g) C2H2(g) + 3H2(g)Describe what is happening within the system when it is at equilibrium in terms of concentrations, reactions that occur, and reaction rates.

Answer:

The system is in dynamic equilibrium: CH4 is decomposing into C2H2 and H2 while C2H2 and H2 react to form CH4. Both reactions continue at equal rates, so the concentrations of all substances remain constant.

Which of these did your answer include?

A
The equilibrium in the system is a dynamic equilibrium.
B
At equilibrium, the rate of the forward reaction (CH4 decomposing into C2H2 and H2) is equal to the rate of the reverse reaction (C2H2 and H2 reacting to form CH4).
C
At equilibrium, the concentrations of all substances are not changing.
D
At equilibrium, both the forward and reverse reactions are still occurring.
