Questions and Answers

What is the primary requirement for a system to be in chemical equilibrium?

  • The rates of forward and reverse reactions are equal. (correct)
  • The temperature must be constant.
  • The reaction must be irreversible.
  • The reactants must be in a solid state.
  • What type of equilibrium is established when a solid dissolves in water?

  • Dynamic equilibrium (correct)
  • Static equilibrium
  • Chemical equilibrium
  • Physical equilibrium
  • What is the significance of the equilibrium constant (K) in a chemical reaction?
