Chapter 12, Problem 47QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The chemical equilibrium is to be explained.

Concept Introduction:

In nature, reversible and irreversible reactions are everywhere. Irreversible reactions are unidirectional reactions in which the reactants are converted into products and cannot be converted back to reactants. Reversible reactions are bi-directional reaction in which there is a simultaneous conversion of reactants to products as well as products to reactants. The forward and the backward reaction rates are equal at equilibrium.
