1. The rate of forward reaction = to the rate of backward reaction.
2. Concentration of the substance are constant.
A reaction is at completion when all of the reagents in the sample have completely reacted out.
Let's use a real simple reaction, happens all the time: reacting methane with oxygen. The balanced equation is:
CH4 + 2O2 = CO2 + 2H2O
(This is an exothermic reaction, which is the whole point of doing it: you're going to use the heat to cook the Pizza you're going to have for dinner.)
If you have determined that it's going to take two cubic feet of methane at gas-line pressure to cook the pizza, the reaction is at completion when all the methane has reacted with oxygen...or, more precisely, when the reaction has caused enough heat to be radiated to completely cook the pizza, and you turn the oven off.
Reactions will proceed to completion whenever one of the products is physically removed from the reaction medium. This often occurs when a gas or solid is formed.
Yes, it does. There is no equilibrium, so you can say that after a time, all the reactants will be converted to products.
It is equal to the equilibrium constant.
because irre
going to an end is the removal of a product from a reaction, not permitting the reverse reaction to take place. The formation of a precipitate, gas or un-ionized compounds, such as water, are the requirements to go to completion. Once a reaction has gone to completion, the product can not form the reactants in a reverse reaction (there is no reverse reaction).
if a reaction is carried out at constant temperature to completion it will have a zero activation energy.
It could stop because there wasn't enough magnesium or hydrochloric acid for the reaction to go to completion.
A reaction which goes to completion without the product of any by products, in effect a reaction which has a 100% yield. Although that would be impossible

The chemical reaction is interrupted.
Yes since lactose is a reducing sugar the only difference is that reaction conditions will have to be different for the reaction to go to full completion.
The reactions in which the products can recombine to form reactants are called reversible reactions. These reactions never go to completion. They are represented by a double arrow between reactants and products.
The equilibrium position.
To ensure there's enough of it to allow the reaction to go to completion.
