Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When the rate of product formation equals the rate of reactant formation in a reversible reaction, the system has reached a state of dynamic equilibrium. This means that the forward and reverse reactions continue to occur at equal rates, so there is no net change in the concentrations of reactants and products.

In a Reversible Reaction, When the Rate of Product Formation
