Answer to Question #170752 in General Chemistry for Mehdi Amiri

Question

explain in terms of the rate of the forward raction and the rate of backward reaction how the mixture of of N2(g) and O2(g) reaches a dynamic equilibrium containing N2(g), O2(g) and NO(g)

Answer 1

As a system approaches equilibrium, both the forward and reverse reactions are occurring.At equilibrium, the forward and reverse reactions are proceeding at the same rate.Once equilibrium is achieved, the amount of each reactant and product remains constant.
