Determine whether the following statement about equilibrium is true or false.
(a) When a reaction system reaches a state of equilibrium, the concentration of the products is equal to the concentration of the reactants.
(b) When a system is at equilibrium, Keq = 1.
(c) At equilibrium, the rates of the forward reaction and the reverse reaction are equal.
(d) Adding a catalyst to a reaction system will shift the position of equilibrium to the right so there are more products at equilibrium than if there was no catalyst present.

Answer:

(a) when a reaction system reaches a state of equilibrium, the concentration of the products is equal to the concentration of the reactants

Determining whether the statements about equilibrium is True or False

A) The concentration of the products is equal to the concentration of the reactants at equilibrium : TRUE

B) When a system is at equilibrium, Keq = 1 : TRUE

C) The rates of the forward reaction and the reverse reaction are equal at equilibrium :  TRUE

D) Adding a catalyst to a reaction system will shift the position of equilibrium to the right : FALSE

Reaction at equilibrium

In a chemical reaction at equilibrium the value of Keq will be equal to 1 because the concentration of the products is equal to the concentration of the reactants in the chemica reaction. Also at equilibrium the rate of forward reaction is same as the rate of reverse reaction.

A catalyst can only affect the rate of reaction and not the amount of product ( yield of reaction).

Hence we can conclude that the answers to your questions are as listed above.
