If a process cannot be retraced in the backward direction by reversing the controlling factors. It is a/an:
Correct answer: B. Irreversible process
- A. Reversible process
- B. Irreversible process
- C. Efficient process
- D. Entropic process
Explanation
A reversible process can be retraced in reverse order, without producing any change in the surrounding. A reversible cycle is a succession of events which bring the system back to its initial condition is called a cycle. A reversible cycle is the one in which all the changes are reversible. However, if a process cannot be retraced in the backward direction by reversing the controlling factors, it is an irreversible process. For example, convection, radiation etc.

About Reaction Kinetics
Reaction kinetics relates reaction rate to concentration, temperature, surface area and catalysts. Questions cover rate laws, reaction order, rate constants, activation energy and the activated complex, including how a catalyst lowers the activation energy without changing the overall energy change or equilibrium position.
