Problem

For the gaseous reaction X⇌YX \rightleftharpoons Y in a sealed vessel, measurements show that at a particular instant the reverse reaction is proceeding twice as fast as the forward reaction. Which statement most accurately describes the net conversion occurring at that instant? (a) XX is being converted to YY faster than YY is being converted to XX. (b) The amounts of XX and YY remain constant because the two reactions balance. (c) YY is being converted to XX faster than XX is being converted to YY. (d) Neither XX nor YY is changing because the reaction has temporarily stopped.
