kekeman:

If a reaction is in dynamic equilibrium in a sealed thermos, the forward reaction will be greater than the reverse reaction false true

BLUEFACE123:

True because reactants and products are converted into each other at the same rate. If the system is closed and the temperature is held constant, the chemical reaction will achieve dynamic equilibrium.

kekeman:

U sure?

BLUEFACE123:

yes im sure

kekeman:

ight thanks

BLUEFACE123:

Np

Tranquility:

When you reach equilibrium, what can you say about the forward reaction and the reverse reaction? Would the forward reaction be greater than the reverse reaction? Or would the forward reaction be equal to the reverse reaction? Or would the reverse reaction be greater than the forward reaction?

You can say that it need to be equal right?

Tranquility:

Yes! The forward reaction would be equal to the reverse reaction. Your question has a reaction that has reached equilibrium in a closed system (A closed system aka your sealed thermos basically means there's no change in matter. That is, no matter is leaving or entering so all the reactants and products stay inside the sealed thermos.) But that's all extra stuff So we know forward reaction = reverse reaction What does that make the answer to your question?

kekeman:

false

Tranquility:

There you go!

Thanks!
