Question 2 • IA-Chemistry A Survey of Chemistry A

Which of these did your answer include?

Answer
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.

Explanation

A chemical equilibrium is dynamic: the forward and reverse reactions continue to occur. At equilibrium, their rates are equal, so the concentrations of the substances remain constant over time. Thus all four statements describe equilibrium.
