What is the main difference between equilibrium and steady state in a chemical reaction?
What is the main difference between equilibrium and steady state in a chemical reaction?
- Equilibrium is when the rate of the forward reaction equals the rate of the backward reaction, while steady state is a stage with constant concentration of an intermediate. (correct)
- Equilibrium occurs when the reactants are completely converted into products, while steady state occurs when the reactants are partially converted into products.
- Equilibrium is a stage with constant concentration of an intermediate, while steady state is when the reaction reaches completion.
- Equilibrium is a state where the reaction has a constant concentration of reactants, while steady state is when the rate of the forward reaction is faster than the rate of the backward reaction.

- Reaction between strong acid and strong base
- Reaction between two weak bases
What characterizes a reaction that reaches completion?
What characterizes a reaction that reaches completion?
- The reaction has a constant concentration of reactants
- The rate of the forward reaction equals the rate of the backward reaction
- The reaction has a constant concentration of an intermediate
- All reactants are completely converted into products (correct)
