For a reversible reaction to reach on equilibrium state the reaction said to be carried out in
Correct answer: D. Closed vessel
- A. Glass vessel
- B. Iron vessel
- C. Open vessel
- D. Closed vessel
Explanation
At equilibrium, the rate of forward reaction equals the rate of reverse reaction. There is no net change in the concentration of the substances involved. This must happen in a closed vessel so that no reactant or product is allowed to escape and the total concentration of the reaction mixture remains constant. If any of the reactants or products manage to escape, the reaction will no longer be in equilibrium.

About Reversible Reactions
A reversible reaction proceeds in both forward and backward directions, so reactants and products continue changing until dynamic equilibrium is established. The topic covers the meaning of equilibrium, the equality of forward and reverse rates, and how concentration, pressure and temperature disturb equilibrium, which is separate from the rate at which equilibrium is reached.
