Concept introduction
The reversible reaction is that reaction in which the forward reaction gets reversed. So, the equilibrium would be reversed
Answer to Problem 41A
The reversible reaction is that reaction in which the equilibrium constant values for both reactions are inversely proportional to each other.
Explanation of Solution
Consider an example of
Then for the decomposition of hydrogen iodide is the inverse of the above equilibrium constant.
In general,
Hence, the equilibrium constant for forward and reverse equations are inversely proportional to each other.
In a reverse reaction the equilibrium constant value is decreases.
