(a)
Interpretation:
For the reaction,
Concept introduction:
A reversible reaction is said to be in equilibrium when the rate of the forward and reverse reaction becomes equal. If the equilibrium constant is small, the rate of the backward reaction will be more than the rate of the forward reaction. Collision theory states that a reaction can only occur if reactant molecules collide with each other.
