A reversible reaction is carried out in a sealed flask. Figure shows how the rate of the forward reaction and the rate of the reverse reaction change with time.
Figure: The rate of the forward reaction and the rate of the reverse reaction plotted against time for a reversible reaction in a sealed flask

Use Figure to give the time at which equilibrium was first reached.
Explain why the rate of the forward reaction falls during the first 60 s.
Explain what Figure shows about the two reactions after 60 s.
