Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

From the given options, the statement which matches for the state of chemical equilibrium has to be chosen.

Concept Introduction:

Chemical Equilibrium:

It is a point at which the rate of the forward reaction equals to the rate of backward reaction.  That is, there will be no net change in concentrations.  If the rates are equal and there is no net change in the concentration of the reactants and the products, then that state is said to be in dynamic equilibrium.
