Question

Which statement best describes general equilibrium? Equilibrium is reached when the reaction stops. There is only one set of equilibrium concentrations that equals the Kc value. At equilibrium, the rate of the forward reaction is the same as the rate of the reverse reaction. At equilibrium, the total concentration of products equals the total concentration of reactants.

Answer 1

Answer:  The statement 'At equilibrium, the rate of the forward reaction is the same as the rate of the reverse reaction' best describes general equilibrium.

Explanation:

A chemical process in which the rate of forward reaction is equal to the rate of backward reaction.

For example, $A + B \rightleftharpoons C + D$

This reaction is an equilibrium process. Symbol which represents the equilibrium is '$\rightleftharpoons$'.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement 'At equilibrium, the rate of the forward reaction is the same as the rate of the reverse reaction' best describes general equilibrium.
