Question

Which of the following characteristics of chemical equilibrium is true?

(a) equilibrium is dynamic in nature

(b) equilibrium cannot be attained from either side

(c) equilibrium cannot be obtained in a closed container

(d) equilibrium state is affected by the presence of a catalyst

I got this question during an online exam.

This interesting question is from Equilibrium in Physical Processes in section Equilibrium of Chemistry – Class 11

Answer 1

Right answer is (a) equilibrium is dynamic in nature

For explanation I would say: The correct statements of the wrong ones are; equilibrium can be attained from another side, the catalyst does not affect the equilibrium state and it can only be achieved in a closed container. Therefore equilibrium is dynamic in nature is the true characteristic of chemical equilibrium in the given options.
