Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following is a characteristic of a reaction at equilibrium?
  • Step 1: Understand what a chemical reaction is. It involves reactants turning into products.
  • Step 2: Know that in some reactions, the products can turn back into reactants. This is called a reversible reaction.
  • Step 3: Learn about equilibrium. It happens when the forward reaction (reactants to products) and the reverse reaction (products to reactants) happen at the same rate.
  • Step 4: Realize that at equilibrium, the amounts of reactants and products can be different. They do not have to be equal.
  • Step 5: Conclude that the key characteristic of equilibrium is that the rates of the forward and reverse reactions are equal.
