← ScienceWhich condition halts product synthesis when reagents reach chemical equilibrium?
A)Forward, reverse reaction rates equalize✓
B)Catalyst degradation poisons active sites
C)Temperature fluctuations destabilize reaction intermediates
D)Pressure exceeds reactor mechanical limits
💡 Explanation
At chemical equilibrium, the forward and reverse reaction rates are equal because the system minimizes Gibbs free energy; therefore, product accumulates no faster, rather than being limited thermodynamically or instrumentally, or the catalyst being affected.
