What if a person tells you that a reaction must have stopped because the amounts of products and reactants have not changed what is wrong with the persons reasoning?

If a reaction occurs what will be the products of the unbalanced reaction below?
The amounts of reactants and products are not mentioned.dark
Why don't the amount of reactants and products change in a reversible reaction?
The "amounts" of reactants and products DO change in a reversible reaction. What doesn't change is the concentration of these reactants and products AT EQUILIBRIUM. And also what does not change is the total mass of the system.
How does changing the amounts of reactants in a chemical reaction change the chemical compositions of the products?
Yes, it is possible; for example complete or not complete burning.
What does a balanced chemical equation prove?
One or more products containing the same quantity of atoms as the reactants had
What is a statement that uses chemical formulas to describe the identities and relative amounts of the reactants and products involved in the chemical reaction?
A properly balanced chemical equation.

A chemical reaction that shows only the formulas but not the relative amounts of the reactants and products is an?
Skeleton equations do not show the relative amounts of reactants and products (are "unbalanced"). Balanced equations do show the relative amounts of the reactants and products.

Why cant an unbalanced chemical equation fully describe a reaction?
The amounts of reactants and products are not mentioned.
Why the amounts of reactants and products do not change in a reversible reaction?
The amount of reactants and products do not change in reversible reactions because, in a chemical reaction, matter is neither created nor destroyed -- it is only rearranged. This is the law of conservation of matter.
How does changing the amounts of reactants in a chemical reaction change the chemical compositions of the products?
Yes, it is possible; for example complete or not complete burning.

Why the reaction mixture doesn't have 50 percents reactants and 50 percents products at equilibrium position?
Chemical equilibrium occurs when the rate of the forward reaction is equal to the rate of the reverse reaction. Take this example:2NO2(g) ↔N2O4(g)At this point of the reaction the rate of N2O4 produced from NO2 is the same as the rate of NO2 produced from N2O4. The key aspect to keep in mind is that the amounts (of moles) of products and reactants at equilibrium is not always 50%/50%. It is usually not.Finding the amounts of products and reactants present during a reaction can be found using Q. Q is known as the reaction quotient. Q can be found like so:Q=[products]/[reactants]reaction quotient =concentrations of products (M) / concentrations of reactantsQ is used to find this ratio at a certain point in time during a reaction (not atequlilibrium)Most likely, you will be given Keq, the equilibrium constant, for a reaction. The value tells you the concentrations of products/reactants at equilibrium. Comparing Q and Keqwill tell you whether a reaction is at equilibrium.Not to get off topic, the answer is that equilibrium does not mean that the reaction mixture has 50% reactants and 50% products. Equilibrium means that the rate of the forward reaction equals the rate of the reverse reaction.
A skeleton equation shows just the reactants and products whereas a balanced equation shows the?
relative amounts of reactants and products
What are three facts about a chemical reaction are provided by a chemical equation?
1. formulas of reactants and products2. amounts of reactants and products3. sense of the reaction
What is a statement that uses chemical formulas to describe the identities and relative amounts of the reactants and products involved in the chemical reaction?
A properly balanced chemical equation.
