During a chemical reaction, if Q = K, what can be said about the reaction?
A. The reaction still proceeds in both directions, but the net result is that the reactant and product concentrations do not change.
B. The amount of product is always equal to the amount of reactant.
C. The reaction proceeds in the direction of the products.
D. No additional reaction occurs, since the system is at equilibrium.

Q = K => System is at equilibrium

The correct answer is A.
The reaction is at equilibrium because the constant is equal to the reaction quotient. This means that the reaction goes both forward and backward at the same time, and there is no net change in concentration of reactants nor products.
