← ScienceWhich effect occurs in a chemical reactor when the reaction reaches equilibrium in presence of a catalyst?
A)Forward and reverse rates equalize✓
B)Heat generation reaches maximum
C)Catalyst deactivation accelerates
D)Reactant concentration minimizes
💡 Explanation
When a reversible reaction reaches equilibrium, the rate of the forward reaction equals the rate of the reverse reaction because the change in Gibbs free energy is zero at that point, creating a dynamic steady-state. Therefore forward and reverse rates equalize, rather than options of heat generation, catalyst deactivation, or minimization require kinetic considerations outside defined equilibrium
