ANYBODY HAVE Chemical Reaction Systems Online Practice
Two substances are combined and react. After 10 minutes, the chemical reaction has reached equilibrium. Which values would be equal to zero for the solution?(1 point)
the concentration of the reactants
the concentration of the reactants
the rate for the forward reaction
the rate for the forward reaction
the temperature of the solution
the temperature of the solution
the change in concentration of the product
the change in concentration of the product
To determine which values would be equal to zero for the solution at equilibrium, we need to understand the concept of equilibrium in a chemical reaction system.
At equilibrium, the forward and reverse reactions in a chemical reaction occur at the same rate. This means that the concentrations of the reactants and the products no longer change over time.
Therefore, the values that would be equal to zero at equilibrium are:
- The concentration of the reactants: Since the concentrations of reactants no longer change, it would be equal to zero.
- The rate for the forward reaction: Since the forward reaction rate will be equal to the reverse reaction rate at equilibrium, it would also be equal to zero.
On the other hand, the temperature of the solution and the change in concentration of the product may not necessarily be equal to zero at equilibrium. The temperature can affect the equilibrium position, and the change in concentration of the product would depend on the specific reaction and its equilibrium constant.
