Answer to Problem 64A
The rates of forward and reverse reactions are equal when the chemical system is in a state of equilibrium.
Explanation of Solution
When chemical equilibrium is reached, the rate at which products break down is equal to the rate at which reactants combine. Chemical equilibrium is a state in which both forward and reverse processes continue, but the concentrations of the reaction components do not vary. This is due to the rates of both the forward and reverse reactions being equal at chemical equilibrium.
The rates of forward and reverse reactions are equal when the chemical system is in a state of equilibrium.
