Question

Consider the reversible reaction.

Answer 1

Answer:

Option D is correct.

The concentrations of both PCl₅ and PCl₃ are changing at equilibrium

Explanation:

Chemical equilibrium during a reversible chemical reaction, is characterised by an equal rate of forward reaction and backward reaction. It is better described as dynamic equilibrium.

This is because, the concentration of the elements and compounds involved in the reversible chemical reaction at equilibrium changes, but the rate of change of the reactants is always equal to the rate of change of products.

Hence, the concentration of reactants and products, such as PCl₅ and PCl₃ are allowed to change at equilibrium, but alas, the rate of forward reaction must always match the rate of backward reaction for the process to remain in a state of Chemical equilibrium.
