The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Understanding Chemical Equilibrium**: - Chemical equilibrium occurs when the rate of the forward reaction equals the rate of the backward reaction. At this point, the concentrations of reactants and products remain constant over time. 2. **Analyzing the Given Statement**: - The statement claims that at chemical equilibrium, the concentrations of all reactants and products are equal. 3. **Identifying the Key Concept**: - While the concentrations of reactants and products are constant at equilibrium, it is not necessary for these concentrations to be equal. 4. **Explaining with Graphs**: - If we plot the concentration of reactants and products against time, the concentration of reactants will decrease and eventually stabilize, while the concentration of products will increase and also stabilize. - At equilibrium, the concentrations are constant, but they can be different values. 5. **Conclusion**: - Since the statement suggests that the concentrations must be equal, which is not a requirement for equilibrium, we conclude that the statement is **false**. ### Final Answer The statement "At chemical equilibrium, the concentration of all reactants and products are equal" is **false**. ---

The following are some statements about chemical equilibrium. (A) The rate of forward reaction is equal to the rate of backward reation. (B) The chemical equilibrium can be established from reactant side only. (C) The concentration of the reactants and products remain same with time. The correct statements are

Read the following paragraph and answer the questions given below , Stable equilibrium is of various types . Mechanical equilibrium is achieved when all particles are at rest and total potential energy of the system is minimum . At any stage where particles are at rest but the system is not at stable equilibrium as it can reduce its potential energy by reverting to another position, is called metastable equilibrium . Thermal equilibrium is result from the absence of temperature gradients in the system. Chemical equilibrium is obtained when no further reaction occurs between reacting substances, i.e forward and reverse rates of reaction are equal. When steam with solid iron at high temperature Fe_3O_4(s) and hydrogen gas are produced . But the reaction never goes to completion. This is because as the products are formed the reaction proceeds in reverse direction and when rate of reverse reaction is equal to rate of forward reaction , the concentration of reactants and products become constant and equilibrium is reached. When two reactants (A) and (B) are mixed to give products (C) and (D) the concentration quotient (Q) at initial stage of the reaction

Equilibrium position is the actual concentration of reactants and products at equilibrium. The concentrations of various substances at equilibrium depends on their initial concentration. Equilibrium constant being the ratio of concentrations of products to reactants remain unaltered.(T/F)
