A chemical reaction reaches equilibrium when

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

At equilibrium, the forward and reverse reactions occur at the same rate, which means there is no net change in the concentrations of reactants and products. The other choices are not accurate: 
A) Both the forward and reverse reactions do not stop at equilibrium. They are just occurring at the same rate. 
C) Limiting reactant is a term used during initial stages of a reaction, hence it is not relevant at equilibrium.
D) Limiting reactant is a term used during initial stages of a reaction, hence it is not relevant at equilibrium.
E) Equilibrium yield can be different from theoretical yield, so actual yield equaling theoretical yield is not necessarily true at equilibrium.
