what is true when a reaction has reached equilibrium?

A the reaction rate is equal in both directions

B The reaction has stopped

C the reaction is faster in the forward direction

D the reaction is faster in the reverse direction

Verified Answer :

Answer:

In a chemical equilibrium, the forward and reverse reactions occur at equal rates, and the concentrations of products and reactants remain constant. A catalyst speeds up the rate of a chemical reaction, but has no effect upon the equilibrium position for that reaction.

Explanation:

Answer:

The Answer is A. The reaction rate is equal in both directions.

Explanation:

My explanation is don't listen to the guy above me. The reaction is constant therefore it goes both ways.
