Equilibrium is reached in chemical reactions when: A) The rates of the forward and reverse reactions become equal. B) The concentrations of reactants and products become equal. C) The temperature shows a sharp rise. D) All chemical reactions stop.

Correct option: A

Explanation:

Equilibrium means the state of reaction which there is no net changes occur it means the rate of forward reaction and rate of backward reaction become same and also it does not mean that the concentration of both side i.e. reactant and product become equal. after gaining equlibrium position the concentration of reactant and product remain same and also chemical reaction does not stop and it continues.
