Solution

TRUE. At equilibrium, the rates of the forward and reverse reactions are indeed equal. This is the definition of a chemical equilibrium. The concentrations of the reactants and products remain constant because the rates of the forward and reverse reactions are the same, not because the reactions have stopped.
