Question

Differentiate irreversible and reversible reaction.

✓

Answer

Irreversible reaction:

Products are not converted back to reactants.
Reaction stops completely and almost goes to completion.
It can be carried out in an open or closed vessel.
It takes place only in one direction. It is represented by →
e.g. $C_{(s)} + O_{2(g)} \rightarrow CO_{2(}_{g)}$

Reversible reaction:

Products arc converted back to reactants.
Reaction appears to have stopped but does not undergo completion.
It is generally carried out in a closed vessel.
It takes place in both directions. It is represented by ⇌
e.g. $N_{2(g)} + O_{2(g)} ⇌ 2NO_{(g)}$
