Practise dynamic-equilibrium questions by stating equal reaction rates and constant concentrations without saying amounts are equal.
Methanoic acid also reacts with propanol to form an ester.
The equation for the reaction is
When this reaction occurs in a sealed container, the reaction can reach dynamic equilibrium.
Give one characteristic of a reaction at dynamic equilibrium.
forward and backward reactions occur at the same rate
Or:
- concentrations of reactants and products remain constant / stay the same / do not change
Allow:
- amounts / moles / ratios of reactants and products remain constant
Reject:
- concentrations of reactants and products are equal / the same
