Question

Which of the following statements are TRUE? Answer A. Dynamic equilibrium indicates that the amount of reactants and products are equal. B. Dynamic equilibrium occurs when the rate of the forward reaction equals the rate of the reverse reaction. C. The equilibrium constant for the forward reaction is equal to the equilibrium constant for the reverse reaction. D. A reaction quotient (Q) larger than the equilibrium constant (K) means that the reaction will favor the production of more products. E. All of the above are true.

Explanation / Answer

A reaction quotient (Q) larger than the equilibrium constant (K) means that the reaction will favor the production of more products.

First note that Q is the "actual" amount of products/reactants ratio and K is the equilbirium constanw hich relates that euqilibirum

Dynamic equilibrium indicates that the amount of reactants and products are equal. FALSE, only if Q = K, we can ensure equal amounts

The equilibrium constant for the forward reaction is equal to the equilibrium constant for the reverse reaction. FALSE, typically, it is the inverse math, i.e. Kforward = 1/Kreverse

Dynamic equilibrium occurs when the rate of the forward reaction equals the rate of the reverse reaction. TRUE. Dynamic equilibrium is an equilibrium in which the OVERALL rate of reaction is 0, but forward/reverse reactions are still happening

All of the above are true.

Therefore only

Dynamic equilibrium occurs when the rate of the forward reaction equals the rate of the reverse reaction.
