An industrial batch reactor is closed while this reversible reaction takes place:
J⇌K \text{J} \rightleftharpoons \text{K} J⇌KThe reaction mixture reaches equilibrium. The measured amount of J then remains constant.
A technician concludes that particles of J are no longer changing into particles of K.
Explain why the technician's conclusion is incorrect.
