Quizplus · Accepted Answer

(1) False - not all chemical systems will reach equilibrium, some may be irreversible. 
(2) True - this is a basic principle of redox reactions. 
(3) True - this is a concept related to transition state theory.

Thus, two of the three statements are true, making the best choice B.
