Question 6 • Chemistry

Consider the reaction. 2 SO sub 2 g plus cap o sub 2 times g long left right arrow 2 SO sub 3 g When does the given chemical system reach dynamic equilibrium?

Answer
A
when the rates of the forward and reverse reactions are equal
B
when the concentration of the reactants is higher than the concentration of the products
C
when the forward and reverse reactions stop
D
when the rate of the forward reaction is higher than the rate of the reverse reaction

Explanation

Dynamic equilibrium is reached when the forward and reverse reactions continue at equal rates. The concentrations of reactants and products then remain constant, though they do not have to be equal. The reactions do not stop, so choice D is incorrect.
