Consider the hypothetical reaction A + 2 B AB₂ at equilibrium.Which is true?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

At equilibrium, the forward and reverse reaction rates are equal, therefore the forward reaction rate is equal to the reverse reaction rate. This is only true for choice D. The concentrations of A and B do not necessarily have to be equal, and the reverse reaction rate is not necessarily at a maximum at equilibrium. The equilibrium reaction rate is simply the rate at which the forward and reverse reactions occur at equilibrium, but it is not necessarily equal to the forward or reverse reaction rate.
