Question

An irreversible reaction is one that:

Answer 1

Answer:

(d) has an extremely large equilibrium constant.

Explanation:

Hello,

Considering a generic chemical reaction:

$aA+bB cC+dD$

The equilibrium constant is defined as:

$K=\frac{[C]^c_{eq}[D]^d_{eq}}{[A]^a_{eq}[B]^b_{eq}}$

Now, an irreversible chemical reaction is a reaction in which the reagents are converted into products with no chance of coming back, so, considering the previous chemical reaction, the concentration of both A and B tends to be zero, so an extremely large equilibrium constant is gotten.

Best regards.
