Answer:At equilibrium, the forward and backward reaction rate is the same.

Explanation:The equilibrium counteracts any change in the condition of the reactant or product. The le'chatalier principle highlights three main factors that affect the state of equilibrium. The three factors are: amount of moles, concentration and pressure. If the amount of reactant is increased, the equilibrium will shift to the right in order to create a balance between the forward and backward reaction and vice versa.
