Question

16. A reaction at equilibrium has a Keq value of 1.5 x 103. Which statement best describes what is occurring in the system (3pts) The reaction has barely started before the reverse reaction rate equals the forward reaction a. rate b. The reactants are nearly consumed before the reverse reaction rate equals the forward reaction rate c. The forward and reverse reaction rates never become equal d. The forward reaction rate is slower than the reverse reaction rate e. The forward reaction rate is faster than the reverse reaction rate

Explanation / Answer

answer: b

at equilibrium rate of forward reaction = rate of backward reaction. and as Keq = 1.5*10^3 (>1) most of the reactants converts into products.
