Question

A chemical equilibrium exists when: A chemical equilibrium exists when: there are equal amounts of reactants and products. the rate at which reactants form products is the same as the rate at which products form reactants. the sum of reactant and product concentrations equals one mole. reactants are completely changed to products. the rate at which reactants form products becomes zero.

Answer 1

Answer: A chemical equilibrium exists when the rate at which reactants form products is the same as the rate at which products form reactants.

Explanation:

When the concentration of both the reactants and products do not change with time then it means the chemical reaction has reached to a state of chemical equilibrium.

For example, $CO(g) + Cl_{2}(g) \rightleftharpoons COCl_{2}(g)$

Therefore, we can conclude that a chemical equilibrium exists when the rate at which reactants form products is the same as the rate at which products form reactants.
