is a chemical reaction where the reactants form products that, in turn, react together to give the reactants back.

Reversible Reaction

will reach an equilibrium point where the concentrations of the reactants and products will no longer change.

Reversible Reactions

is denoted by a double arrow pointing both directions in a chemical equation

Reversible Reaction

Some chemical reactions can occur in only one direction. These reactions are called

irreversible reactions

The reactants can change to the products, but the products cannot change back to the reactants.

Irreversible reactions

French chemist? introduced the concept of reversible reactions

Claude Louis Berthollet

he observed that sodium carbonate and calcium chloride react to yield calcium carbonate and sodium chloride

Claude Louis Berthollet

These equations typically have a unidirectional arrow (—>—>) to represent irreversible reactions. Other chemical equations may have a bidirectional harpoons (arrow alternate) that represent reversible reactions

Important

A fundamental concept of chemistry is that chemical reactions occurred when reactants reacted with each other to form products.

Irreversible Reactions

These unidirectional reactions are known as?, reactions in which the reactants convert to products and where the producis cannot convert back to the reactants

irreversible reactions

- An example of an is combustion. Combustion involves burning an organic compound

irreversible reaction

The reactants and products are never fully consumed; they are each constantly reacting and being produced

reversible reactions

When the reactants and products of a reaction are mixed, it is hard to tell if the system is at equilibrium

reactions quotient

What we can do is calculate a reaction quotient using the same formula as the equilibrium constant.

Reactions quotient

depending on the size of the reaction quotient, we can compare it to the known value of the equilibrium constant to determine the direction the reaction is moving

Important

What kind of reaction happens when the reactants and products are never fully consumed

Reversible reaction
