Question

The rate of the forward reaction is equal to the rate of the backward reaction at chemical equilibrium.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A

True

Chemical equilibrium is the state in which both reactants and products are present in concentrations which have no further tendency to change with time. A forward reaction is a reaction in which products are produced from reactants and it goes from left to right in a reversible reaction. A backward reaction is a reaction in which reactants are produced from products and it goes from right to left in a reversible reaction. Chemical equilibrium is achieved when the rate of the forward reaction is equal to the rate of the backward reaction.
