Question

Which statement is true about equilibrium? The forward reaction rate is greater than the reverse reaction rate. The forward reaction rate is equal to the reverse reaction rate. The reverse reaction rate is greater than the forward reaction rate. Either A or B is true depending on the reaction. The equilibrium constant expression Kp for the reaction N2 (g) + 3H2(g) 2NH3 (g) is. Kp = PN2(3PH2)3 / (2PNH3)2 Kp = (2PNH3)2 / PN2(3PH2)3 kp = pN2 pH2 3 / pNH3 2 Kp = PNH3 2 / PN2 PH2 3 Which statement best describes the rate of the "forward" (i.e., left-to-right) reaction as it approaches equilibrium? The rate slows down, then increases, as equilibrium is approached. The rate remains constant. The rate increases as equilibrium is approached. The rate decreases as equilibrium is approached.
