Answer is 20. Since potassium has 19 electrons you know that it then has 19 protons because there is no charge change. So to get the number of neutrons, you take the average mass of 39 and subtract the number of protons and that leaves you with 20 neutrons.

A reversible reaction is a reaction that takes place in the____1____ . If the reaction were to_____2____, the rate of the forwar
klemol [59]

Answer : The correct option for blank 1 is, Forward and Backward direction .

The correct option for blank 2 is, Reach equilibrium .

Explanation :

  • Reversible reaction : It is a reaction in which two or more reactants react together to give products and these products react with other product to form reactants.

It occurs in both the directions at the same time, forward and backward direction.

  • Irreversible reaction : It is a reaction in which reactants react together to give a product but it can not revert back into the reactants.

It occurs in forward direction only.

  • Equilibrium reaction : It is a reaction in which the rate of forward reaction is equal to the rate of backward reaction.
  • Completion reaction : It is a reaction in which the reactants react together to give products. when the reaction goes to completion theta means all the reactants are used up and you have only products in the reaction.
