Reversible Reactions and Equilibrium

Question 1 • FL-2003350-Chemistry 1 Honors

Which statement correctly defines dynamic equilibrium?

Answer
A
At dynamic equilibrium, the rates of forward and reverse reactions are equal.
B
At dynamic equilibrium, the rate of the forward reaction is higher than the rate of the reverse reaction.
C
At dynamic equilibrium, the forward and reverse reactions stop.
D
At dynamic equilibrium, the concentrations of reactants and products are equal.

Explanation

At dynamic equilibrium, the forward and reverse reactions continue, but they occur at the same rate. This means the concentrations of reactants and products remain constant over time, though they do not have to be equal. Therefore, the correct statement is that the forward and reverse reaction rates are equal.
