In a chemical reaction at equilibrium, the rate of the forward reaction is ( equal to/ greater than/ less than) the rate of the reverse reaction. If the rate of the forward reaction (decrease/ increase/ stays the same), more products are formed.

Imagine one batch of soup (batch “a”) is made with 8.19 g/can of salt, according to the recipe, and a second batch of soup (batch “b”) is made with 8.32 g/can of salt. explain which batch would be more resistant to frost damage if it is shipped a great distance in winter and explain why.
