A chemical reaction has an equilibrium constant of 2 × 10⁶. If this reaction is at equilibrium, select the one correct conclusion that can be made about the reaction.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The equilibrium constant, K, is defined as [products]/[reactants]. When the reaction reaches equilibrium, the forward and reverse rates will be equal, resulting in the chemical species being produced and consumed at the same rate, and the concentration of the reactants and products remain constant. Therefore, the correct conclusion is that the forward and reverse reaction rates are equal.
