(a)
Interpretation:
The observation or measurements result that would indicate that the given process had reached equilibrium is to be described.
Concept introduction:
The rate of the process is the speed at which the process is occurring. The equilibrium state of a process is the state at which the rate of the process going into the forward direction becomes equal to the rate of the process going into the backward direction.
