Acid Dissociation and Association

When the chemical reaction A + B ↔ C+ D is at equilibrium,

• both the forward and reverse reactions have stopped.
• the sum of the concentrations of A and B equals the sum of the concentrations of C and D.
• all four concentrations are equal.
• neither the forward nor the reverse reactions have stopped.

A substance that ionizes completely in solution is

• an insulator.
• a strong electrolyte. 
• a weak acid.
• a non-electrolyte.
