What approximation can be made when the equilibrium constant is very small in order to simplify the math involved with an equilibrium problem? a) Assume the concentration of each product equals zero. b) Assume this problem cannot be solved by mere humans. c) Assume the reactant concentrations go to zero. O d) Assume that the reactant concentrations do not change significantly.

Equilibrium is reached in a chemical reaction when A. the reactants are completely consumed. B. the concentrations of all reactants and products become equal. C. the rates of the opposing reactions become equal. D. the forward and reverse reactions stop.
What is true about the forward and reverse reaction rates once chemical equilibrium is established? The reverse rate is always faster than the forward rate. Both the forward and reverse rates are equal Impossible to determine because it depends on the reaction. The forward rate is always faster than the reverse rate.
