In the given hypothetical reaction: A+B⟶AB, the reactants A and B are consumed while the concentration of product AB increases. The reaction rate can be determined by measuring how fast the concentration of A or B decreases, or by how fast the concentration of AB increases. The graph below shows a reaction profile in which the reactants (red) decrease in concentration as the products increase in concentration (blue).
Answer the following questions based on the information above.
1. At what time is the reaction in equilibrium?
A. 6 s
B. 10 s
C. 8 s
D. 9 s
2. What is the concentration of the product at equilibrium?
A. 0.3 M

4. During which time interval is the rate of the reverse reaction greater than the rate of the forward reaction?
A. 0-9 s
B. 9-25 s
C. 5-9 s
D. 0-5 s
