@JFraser I think it's 6 seconds.

OpenStudy (jfraser):

you're thinking because that's where the lines cross, right?

OpenStudy (vera_ewing):

Yes. That's where the equilibrium is reached right?

OpenStudy (jfraser):

nope

OpenStudy (jfraser):

equilibrium is reached when the concentrations of the reactants and products stop changing over time. because you have a graph of concentration vs. time, you can look at the \(slopes\) of the lines, and see that the concentrations are still changing at 6 seconds

OpenStudy (vera_ewing):

So it's 12 seconds?

OpenStudy (jfraser):

equilibrium is reached when the slopes of the reactant and product concentration lines become zero

OpenStudy (vera_ewing):

So that would be at 12 seconds right?

OpenStudy (jfraser):

it is

OpenStudy (vera_ewing):

Ahh the answer was 8!!!

OpenStudy (jfraser):

it looks to me like the concentrations are still changing at 8s, but the general idea is still correct
