Reversible Reactions:

Question 1

How do we know if a reaction is reversible through the chemical equation?

Answer 1

• It has a arrow going left and right if it is reverisble.

- It has a signle arrow if it is not reversible.

Question 2

What is a reversible reaction?

Answer 2

• Products are able to react to reform to the original reactants.
• Reversible reactions.
• ## Change the direction of reversible reactions by changing the conditions.

Question 3

What are the energy changes like in reversible reactions?

Answer 3

• Heat up the hydrated copper sulfate (blue) it reacts to form anhydrous copper sulfate (white).
• Also produces water.

Points:
- Heating –> Putting energy in (endothermic forward reaction).
- Add water back–> Reaction reverses–> Energy is released (Exothermic).
-
-

Question 4

If a reversible reaction is exothermic in one direction what will be the other direction?

Answer 4

• The opposite direction will be endothermic.
• ## Same amount of energy is transferred in each case.

Question 5

What is an equaliberian?/

Answer 5

• When both the forward and reverse reaction takes place at exactly the same rate.
