Forward reaction is the one that

Correct answer: D. Takes place from left to right as given in chemical equation

  • A. Is very slow at the beginning of the reaction
  • B. Reacts to form reactants
  • C. Speeds up gradually and at equilibrium its rate becomes constant
  • D. Takes place from left to right as given in chemical equation

Explanation

This is the correct definition of a forward reaction. It refers to the process where reactants (on the left side of the equation) are converted into products (on the right side).

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.
