Chemistry 2006 JAMB Past Questions - Question 8: Dynamic equilibrium describes a situation where

Correct Answer

C

Explanation

Dynamic equilibrium describes a situation where both forward and reverse reactions proceed at the same rate. In dynamic equilibrium, the concentration of reactants and products remains constant over time, indicating that the rates of the forward and reverse reactions are equal. This does not necessarily mean that the reactants and products are present in equal amounts; rather, it implies that the concentrations have stabilized, and there is no net change in the overall composition of the system. This state of equilibrium occurs in various chemical and physical processes, such as reversible chemical reactions and phase transitions.
