← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a reversible catalytic reformer reaches equilibrium?
A)Forward and reverse rates equalize✓
B)Catalyst deactivation accelerates rapidly
C)Thermal runaway reaction is initiated
D)Equilibrium shifts to favor reactants
💡 Explanation
At equilibrium, the forward and reverse reaction rates become equal because the Gibbs free energy is minimized driving forces diminish, the system is a minimum; therefore, the concentrations of reactants and products remain constant, rather than shifting further in either direction.
