Interpretation: The evidences of reversible reactions are to be explained.
Concept introduction: A reversible process in one that can proceed in both forward and the reverse direction. Many physical and chemical processes are reversible given the appropriate conditions.
Answer to Problem 1E
In reversible reactions, the presence of both substrate and product occurs.
Explanation of Solution
In a chemical equation, a double arrow is used to symbolize reversible process. In a reversible reactions, forward and reverse both the reactions occur. So, both products and substrate present in the reaction mixture. Changes of various parameters including temperature and pressure, the reactant and product concentration can be changed.
The double arrow indicates that both a forward and a reverse process can occur.
