The following picture represents the equilibrium state for the reaction A₂ + B₂ ⇌ 2AB.What is the relationship between the rate constant for the forward reaction,k_f,and the rate constant for the reverse reaction k_r?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

At equilibrium, the forward and reverse reactions occur at the same rate. This means that the rate of the forward reaction is equal to the rate of the reverse reaction, so k_f = k_r.
