Question

Which formula equation shows a reversible reaction?

Answer 1

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

Which formula equation shows a reversible reaction?

A: $2Na+F_2\rightarrow 2NaF$

B: $CaCO_3\rightarrow CaO+CO_2$

C: $NH_4Cl(s)\rightleftharpoons 2NH_3(g)+HCl(g)$

D: $2H_2O_2(aq.)+Pt\rightarrow 2H_2O(l)+O_2(g)$

Answer: The reversible reaction is $NH_4Cl(s)\rightleftharpoons 2NH_3(g)+HCl(g)$

Explanation:

Reversible reaction is defined as the reaction in which the products formed react together to give the reactants back. For general reversible chemical equation:

$A+B\rightleftharpoons C+D$

Irreversible reaction is defined as the reaction in which the reactants only lead to products and the reaction do not proceed back. For general irreversible chemical reaction:

$A+B\rightarrow C+D$

For the given options:

The reaction having an equilibrium sign between the reactants and products is equation C.

Hence, the reversible reaction is $NH_4Cl(s)\rightleftharpoons 2NH_3(g)+HCl(g)$

Answer 2
