Question

Which statement about a reversible reaction at equilibrium is true?
Options
A The rate of the forward reaction becomes zero
B All reactants are converted to products
C Products are no longer formed
D Rates of forward and reverse reactions are equal
Correct Answer
Correct Answer

Option D is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

At equilibrium, the forward and reverse reactions continue to occur, but at the same rate. This dynamic balance results in no net change in the concentrations of reactants and products.

Hint

Equilibrium is dynamic, not static. The key is the equality of rates, not concentrations.
