Decide if each statement below is True or False for a reaction that has reached equilibrium. Column A 1. At equilibrium, the concentrations of the reactants and products stay constant.: At equilibrium, the concentrations of the reactants and products stay constant. 2. A reaction can only reach equilibrium in a closed system.: A reaction can only reach equilibrium in a closed system. 3. Irreversible reactions can only reach equilibrium.: Irreversible reactions can only reach equilibrium. 4. At equilibrium, macroscopic properties (properties that can be observed with the eye) are constant. It appears as if nothing is happening.: At equilibrium, macroscopic properties (properties that can be observed with the eye) are constant. It appears as if nothing is happening. 5. At equilibrium, the rate of the forward reaction is greater than the rate of the reverse reaction.: At equilibrium, the rate of the forward reaction is greater than the rate of the reverse reaction. Column B a.True b.False
1. True - a
2. False - b
3. False - b
4. True - a
5. False - b
