Which of the following is consistent with a reaction at equilibrium A) ($\Delta$G) = 0, Q = K B) ($\Delta$G^$\circ$) = 0, Q > K C) ($\Delta$G) > 0, Q = K D) ($\Delta$G) < 0, Q = K E) ($\Delta$G^$\circ$) = 0, Q < K

At equilibrium, the forward and reverse reactions are occurring at the same rate, so the net change in the concentrations/reactants/products is zero. Therefore, (F1F1F1S1F1F1F10G) = 0. Also, at equilibrium, the reaction quotient (Q) is equal to the equilibrium constant (K), so Q = K. This is consistent in choice A.
