Explain with example reversible and irreversible
reaction
Answers
Answer:
Irreversible chemical reactions can occur in only one direction. The reactants can change to the products, but the products cannot change back to the reactants.
Reversible chemical reactions can occur in both directions. The reactants can change to the products, and the products can also change back to the reactants.
hope it helps :)
Explain with example reversible and irreversible reaction.
WHAT IS REVERSIBLE CHANGE ?
Any changes which can be reversed or are a temporary conversion are known as reversible changes.
The reactions which are reversible are called reversible reactions. In this reaction, one substance is modified into another form but a new compound is not formed. Processes such as melting, boiling, evaporation, freezing, condensation, dissolution are reversible changes.
EXAMPLES OF REVERSIBLE CHANGE :-
- Melting of wax
- Freezing of ice
- Boiling water
WHAT IS IRREVERSIBLE CHANGE ?
Irreversible changes are permanent changes.
Reactants react to form an entirely new compound and cannot be reversed. Heating, burning, mixing, powdering are few processes which cause irreversible changes.
EXAMPLES OF IRREVERSIBLE CHANGE :-
- A common observable example is the cooking of raw egg which can’t be converted back to its original form.
- Ash obtained by the combustion of paper or any other substances is another example.
