Interpretation:
Based on the information provided it is to be argued whether a Finkelstein reaction is reversible or irreversible.
Concept introduction:
The reactions in which the reactants react with each other to form products, the products are reacting with each other to form reactants are reversible reactions. Thus, for a reaction to be reversible, the rate of forward and reverse reaction is same. The reactions in which, the reactants react with each other to form products, but products do not react with each other and do not form reactants are irreversible reactions. For a reaction to be irreversible, the forward reaction occurs way much faster than the reverse reaction so that the reverse reaction becomes insignificant.
Concentration of the reactants and products play decide whether the reaction is reversible or not. For a reversible reaction, the concentration of both reactants and products must be comparable. If the concentration of products is negligible then the reaction does not occur in reverse direction and is irreversible.

- Write the equilibrium constant expression for the following system at equilibrium: I2 (g) ⇌ 2 I (g)arrow_forwardDon't used hand raiting and don't used Ai solutionarrow_forwardWe learned four factors (ARIO) for comparing the relative acidity of compounds. When two of these factors are in competition, the order of priority is the order in which these factors were covered ("atom" being the most important factor and "orbital" being the least important). However, we also mentioned that there are exceptions to this order of priority. Compare the two compounds and identify the exception. OH PK-4.75 SH PK-10.6 5. "Resonance" is more important than "atom" because the conjugate base of first compound is more stable than the second. "Atom" is more important than "resonance" because the conjugate base of first compound is more stable than the second. "Resonance" is more important than "atom" because the conjugate base of second compound is more stable than the first. "Atom" is more important than "resonance" because the conjugate base of second compound is more stable than the first.arrow_forward
