Which statement correctly describes a reaction in dynamic equilibrium? At dynamic equilibrium, the reactions stop and the amounts of reactants and products do not change. At dynamic equilibrium, the reactions continue but the amounts of reactants and products do not change. At dynamic equilibrium, the reactions stop but the amounts of reactants and products are changing. At dynamic equilibrium, the reactions continue and the amounts of reactants and products are changing.
