Which statement is true?

1) Dynamic equilibrium occurs when the rate of the forward reaction equals the rate of the reverse reaction.
2) The equilibrium constant for the forward reaction is equal to the equilibrium constant for the reverse reaction.
3) A reaction quotient larger than the equilibrium constant means the reaction will favor the production of more products.
4) Dynamic equilibrium indicates that the amount of reactants and products are equal.

You use paper chromatography to separate the active ingredients in the following drugs. The stationary phase is coated with CCl4 and CH3OH (methanol) is used as the mobile phase. List all intermolecular forces between methanol and each drug, rank their attractions as strong, weak, or weakest, and label them on the chromatogram.

Benadryl: dipole-induced dipole, London forces; weakest; S1

Tylenol: dipole-dipole, H-bonding, London forces; strong; S2

Ibuprofen: dipole-dipole, London forces, H-bonding; weak; S3
