There is only ONE correct answer to each question.

Which of the following statements is true of a reaction at equilibrium?

  1. The rate of the forward reaction is greater than that of the reverse reaction.
  2. The rate of the reverse reaction is greater than that of the forward reaction.
  3. The rates of forward and reverse reactions are equal.
  4. The rates of forward and reverse reactions are equal to zero.
Show answer

Correct answer: C. The rates of forward and reverse reactions are equal.

Why

At dynamic equilibrium, the forward and reverse reaction rates are equal (though not zero), so concentrations stay constant.
