Question

Differentiate irreversible and reversible reaction.

Distinguish Between

Solution

No. Irreversible reaction Reversible reaction
1. Products are not converted back to reactants. Products are converted back to reactants.
2. The reaction stops completely and almost goes to completion. The reaction appears to have stopped but does not undergo completion.
3. It can be carried out in an open or closed vessel. It is generally carried out in a closed vessel.
4. It takes place only in one direction. It is represented by → It takes place in both directions. It is represented by ⇌
5. e.g. \[\ce{C_{(s)} + O_{2(g)} -> CO_{2(g)}}\] e.g. \[\ce{N_{2(g)} + O_{2(g)} ⇌ 2NO_{(g)}}\]
