What is the concentration of reactants and products at equilibrium?
Correct answer: A. Both are constant
- A. Both are constant
- B. None of these
- C. Reactants are more than products
- D. Products are more than reactants
Explanation
In a chemical reaction, chemical equilibrium is the state in which the forward reaction rate and the reverse reaction rate are equal. The result of this equilibrium is that the concentrations of the reactants and the products do not change, rather remain constant.However, this must be taken into account that it does not necessary mean the amount of both would be same. Rather, whathever is their concentration, it will continue to remain constant at the state of equilibrium.

About Chemical Equilibrium
Reversible reactions reach dynamic equilibrium when forward and reverse rates become equal, and Le Chatelier's principle predicts the effect of changing concentration, pressure or temperature. The chapter also covers solubility product, the common ion effect, buffer action and the conditions used in Haber's process, with equilibrium shifts distinguished from changes in the equilibrium constant.
