Which of the following statements is correct?

  • A
    At equilibrium,the concentration of reactants and products becomes constant because the forward and backward reactions continue at the same rate,not because they cease.
  • B
    Addition of a catalyst speeds up the forward and backward reactions to the same extent for any given reaction.
  • C
    The equilibrium constant of an exothermic reaction decreases with an increase in temperature.
