Question

Statement 1: The chemical equilibrium is not static but dynamic in nature.
Statement 2: The chemical equilibrium is a state in which two opposing process(reactions) are producing at the same rate.

• A. Both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are true and Statement 2 is the correct explanation of statement 1.
• B.
  Statement 1 is true but Statement 2 is false
• C. Both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are true and Statement 2 is not the correct explanation of statement 1.
• D.
  Statement 1 is false but Statement 2 is true

Answer 1

The correct option is A Both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are true and Statement 2 is the correct explanation of statement 1.

At the chemical equilibrium both forward and backward reactions occur at same speed, neither the forward nor the reverse reactions is ceased at equilibrium. Thus, there are no net changes in the concentrations of the reactants and products. Such a state is known as dynamic equilibrium
Hence we can say,
Both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are true and Statement 2 is the correct explanation of statement 1.
