Which statement concerning a reversible reaction at equilibrium is FALSE?The forward and reverse reaction rates are equal.All of the statements are true for a reversible reaction at equilibrium.There is no further change in the amount of reactants and products.A stress to the system would cause the system to shift in the direction that best relieves the stress.The concentration of the products is equal to the concentration of the reactants.
Question
Which statement concerning a reversible reaction at equilibrium is FALSE?The forward and reverse reaction rates are equal.All of the statements are true for a reversible reaction at equilibrium.There is no further change in the amount of reactants and products.A stress to the system would cause the system to shift in the direction that best relieves the stress.The concentration of the products is equal to the concentration of the reactants.
Solution
The false statement is: "The concentration of the products is equal to the concentration of the reactants."
In a reversible reaction at equilibrium, the rates of the forward and reverse reactions are equal, not the concentrations of the products and reactants. The concentrations of the products and reactants are not necessarily equal at equilibrium; they have simply reached a state where their concentrations no longer change.
