Question

Chemical equilibrium is always attained in an open system.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B

False

Chemical equilibrium is the state in which both reactants and products are present in concentrations which have no further tendency to change with time. It is attained in a closed system. A closed system is the one in which nothing new is added to a system and nothing is removed from a system. This means concentration will not change with time and system will remain in equilibrium. Example of a closed system is a gas cylinder used at home.
