Consider the following graph of the concentration of a substance X over time. Is each of the following statements true or false? (d) As time progresses, the curve will eventually turn downward toward the x-axis. [Section 14.2]

Hello everyone today. We are being given the following problem. The following figure shows the change in concentration of compound A. With time. So we have to change in concentration on the Y axis versus the change in time on the X axis. Based on the figure, determine if the following statement is true or false. The curve infinitely increases as time progresses. So I stated in the question stem, This graph shows the formation of a over time as the reaction progresses and so our reactant or the starting material is going to be a. So we're going from starting from a there. So in a reaction reactions are consumed and so an important thing to know is if all reactant are consumed, the reaction is going to stop, meaning we will reach equilibrium so we will reach equilibrium because the maximum amount of A. Has been produced. Therefore the concentration of A will eventually reach a maximum value. So this statement is ultimately false based on what we know and with that we've answered the question overall. I hope this helped. And until next time.
