True or False regarding reaction mixture [ENDORSED]

[Michelle Nwufo 2G]

When the chemical equilibrium is reached, does the composition of the reaction mixture remain constant because the forward and reverse reactions are occurring at equal rates?

[904936893]

I believe so.

[Steven Garcia 1H]

Yes! When the equilibrium is reached, the composition of the reaction mixture stays the same. Changes in the molarity and/or pressure occur before equilibrium is reached. However, at equilibrium, the composition stays the same precisely for the reason you mentioned. Hope this helps!

[Rosha Mamita 2H]

Yes that is true, both reactions are occurring at equal rates at equilibrium

[Jason Ye 2I]

Yeah the concentrations stay the same because the forward and reverse occur at the same rate.

[Aiden Atoori 1C]

Yes, you are correct.

[Phil Timoteo 1K]

Yrs you are right

[Hilda Sauceda 3C]

yeah thats correct

[jocelyntzeng]

yup that is true!

[davidryan3f]

yes that is basically the definition of equilibrium.

[Ricardo Martin 1J]

Yes, the composition of the reaction mixture remains constant when at equilibrium.
