A chemical reaction in which products formed are stable at the temperature at which reaction is taking place is called

Correct answer: B. Irreversible reaction

  • A. Forward reaction
  • B. Irreversible reaction
  • C. Backward reaction
  • D. Reversible reaction

Explanation

An irreversible reaction is one in which the products formed are stable at the temperature at which the reaction is taking place. In other words, once the reaction has occurred and the products have formed, they will not convert back to the original reactants under the given conditions. Irreversible reactions typically proceed in one direction only, from reactants to products.

About Chemical Equilibrium

Reversible reactions reach dynamic equilibrium when forward and reverse rates become equal, and Le Chatelier's principle predicts the effect of changing concentration, pressure or temperature. The chapter also covers solubility product, the common ion effect, buffer action and the conditions used in Haber's process, with equilibrium shifts distinguished from changes in the equilibrium constant.
