The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem systematically, we will analyze the given chemical reaction and the changes in the concentrations of the reactants and products as the system reaches equilibrium. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Write the Balanced Chemical Equation:** The reaction is given as: \[ 2A(g) + B(g) \rightleftharpoons 3C(g) + D(g) \] 2. **Initial Moles:** We start with 2 moles of \(A\) and 2 moles of \(B\). At the beginning (time \(t = 0\)): - Moles of \(A\) = 2 - Moles of \(B\) = 2 - Moles of \(C\) = 0 - Moles of \(D\) = 0 3. **Change in Moles:** Let \(x\) be the amount of \(D\) produced at equilibrium. According to the stoichiometry of the reaction: - For every 1 mole of \(D\) produced, 3 moles of \(C\) are produced. - For every 1 mole of \(D\) produced, 1 mole of \(B\) is consumed. - For every 1 mole of \(D\) produced, 2 moles of \(A\) are consumed. Therefore, at equilibrium: - Moles of \(A\) = \(2 - 2x\) - Moles of \(B\) = \(2 - x\) - Moles of \(C\) = \(3x\) - Moles of \(D\) = \(x\) 4. **Equilibrium Concentrations:** The concentrations at equilibrium can be expressed in terms of \(x\): - Concentration of \(A\) = \(\frac{2 - 2x}{V}\) - Concentration of \(B\) = \(\frac{2 - x}{V}\) - Concentration of \(C\) = \(\frac{3x}{V}\) - Concentration of \(D\) = \(\frac{x}{V}\) Here, \(V\) is the volume of the flask, which is constant. 5. **Comparison of Concentrations:** We need to compare the concentrations of \(A\) and \(B\): - Concentration of \(A\) = \(2 - 2x\) - Concentration of \(B\) = \(2 - x\) Since \(x\) is a positive value (as products are formed), we can analyze: - \(2 - 2x < 2 - x\) - This implies that the concentration of \(B\) is always greater than the concentration of \(A\). 6. **Conclusion:** Therefore, at equilibrium, the relationship that must always be true is: \[ [B] > [A] \]

To solve the problem systematically, we will analyze the given chemical reaction and the changes in the concentrations of the reactants and products as the system reaches equilibrium. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Write the Balanced Chemical Equation:** The reaction is given as: \[ 2A(g) + B(g) \rightleftharpoons 3C(g) + D(g) ...
