Concept Introduction:
Equilibrium:
It is defined as a state in which two opposite processes are balanced. Like forward and backward reaction. The reaction in which reactant convert into product is known as forward reaction while the reaction in which product changes into reactant is known as backward reaction.
Answer to Problem 56A
“All chemical reactions are, to one extent or another, reversible” means that a reversible reaction can either occur in forward or backward direction.
Explanation of Solution
Forward reaction:The reaction in which reactant convert into product is known as forward reaction.
Backward reaction:The reaction in which product changes into reactant is known as backward reaction.
Reversible reaction:
It is a reaction in which forward and backward reaction occurs simultaneously. It means that reactant convert into product and product changes back into reactant.
The statement“All chemical reactions are, to one extent or another, reversible” means that a reversible reaction can either occur in forward or backward direction.
