Question

In a chemical equilibrium, the concentrations of reactants and products:
Options
A Are equal
B Are constantly changing
C Remain constant over time
Correct Answer
D Reach zero
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

At equilibrium, the forward and reverse reaction rates are equal, so the net change in the concentrations of reactants and products is zero. This means their concentrations become constant, though not necessarily equal to each other.

Hint

Equilibrium is a state of balance where macroscopic properties do not change.
