A reversible reaction takes place in a sealed vessel.
X(g)⇌Y(g) \mathrm{X(g) \rightleftharpoons Y(g)} X(g)⇌Y(g)The concentrations of X and Y are measured at intervals.
| Time (min) | Concentration of X (mol/dm³) | Concentration of Y (mol/dm³) |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | 1.20 | 0.00 |
| 2 | 0.92 | 0.28 |
| 4 | 0.80 | 0.40 |
| 6 | 0.80 | 0.40 |
Explain how the results show that the reaction has reached dynamic equilibrium by 6 minutes.
