Chapter 17, Problem 1STP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The system that has reached the chemical equilibrium is to be described.

Concept introduction:

When the rate of forward reaction is equals to rate of reverse reaction, such that the concentration of reactants and products remain stable in a chemical reaction.

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Answer to Problem 1STP

Correct answer:

D.

Explanation of Solution

Reason for correct option:

Because equilibrium attains only when the rate of forward reaction is equal to rate of reverse reactions which implies that the rates of forward and reverse reaction are not change with time.

Conclusion

Reasons for incorrect options:

A. This one is wrong description because during the forward reaction ate is change with time and products are formed.

B. This is also wrong because in equilibrium position rate of forward and reverse reaction are equal.

C. This is also wrong because there is no effect on the equilibrium position by changing the concentration.
