**Understanding Chemical Equilibrium**When studying chemical reactions, it is essential to grasp the concept of equilibrium. Here are some key points to consider regarding the nature of a chemical reaction at equilibrium. Examine the statements below and determine which are true.1. **The system will be a mixture of reactant and products.**2. **The rate of the forward and reverse reactions are equal.**3. **The amount of each reactant and product is constant.**To answer the question, consider the following options:a. 1 only b. 2 only c. 3 only d. 1 and 2 e. 1, 2, and 3**Explanation:**1. **Mixture of reactant and products**: At equilibrium, a chemical system contains both reactants and products. The amounts of these substances do not change because the rate at which the reactants are converted into products is equal to the rate at which the products are converted back into reactants.2. **Equal rates of forward and reverse reactions**: Equilibrium in a chemical system is characterized by the rates of the forward and reverse reactions becoming equal. This means that the speed at which the products are formed from the reactants is the same as the speed at which the products revert back to reactants.3. **Constant amounts of reactants and products**: At equilibrium, the concentrations of the reactants and products remain constant over time. This does not mean that the reactants and products stop reacting; rather, it means that their rates of formation and consumption are balanced.Based on these principles, the correct answer is:e. **1, 2, and 3** Understanding these fundamental concepts is crucial for analyzing and predicting the behavior of chemical reactions in both theoretical and practical applications.
