Consider the following graph. The graph is based on data collected for the following reaction.
CH 3 COOH(g) + C 2 H 5 OH(g) CH 3 COOC 2 H 5 (g) + H 2 O(g)
-At what point on the graph does the rate of the forward reaction equal the rate of the reverse reaction?

Question

Consider the following graph.  The graph is based on data collected for the following reaction.
CH 3 COOH(g) + C 2 H 5 OH(g)  CH 3 COOC 2 H 5 (g) + H 2 O(g)
-At what point on the graph does the rate of the forward reaction equal the rate of the reverse reaction?

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The point where the rate of the forward reaction equals the rate of the reverse reaction is the point of equilibrium, which is typically indicated on a graph as the point where the two reaction rates intersect.
