Which of the following an example of an equilibrium situation?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a saturated solution, the rate of dissolution is equal to the rate of precipitation, causing no net change in the amount of solute in the solution. This is an example of an equilibrium state. Option A is incorrect because there is still room for more solute to dissolve, so it is not yet at equilibrium. Option C is incorrect because a supersaturated solution is unstable and will eventually precipitate out excess solute, so it is not at equilibrium.
