Question

Which of the following statements regarding dynamic equilibrium is false?

• A. At equilibrium, there is no net change in the system
• B. At equilibrium, the concentration of reactants and products remains constant
• C. At equilibrium, the forward and backward reactions cease to occur
• D. At equilibrium, the rates of the forward and backward reactions are identical

Answer 1

The correct option is C At equilibrium, the forward and backward reactions cease to occur

At equilibrium, there is no net change in the system macroscopically but microscopically forward and backward reactions happen at the same rate, the concentrations remains constant.
