Consider the following equilibrium reaction:
2icl(g) (reverse reaction symbol) i2(g) + cl2(g)
some icl is added to an empty flask. how do the reaction rates change as the system approaches equilibrium?

a. forward rate increases, reverse rate increases.
b. forward rate increases, reverse rate decreases.
c. forward rate decreases, reverse rate increases.
d. forward rate decreases, reverse rate decreases.
