The irreversible reaction is a special case of reversible reaction, if the________________?

Correct answer: C. Reactant concentration at equilibrium condition is zero

  • A. Equilibrium constant is 1
  • B. Conversion of the reactant at equilibrium condition is zero
  • C. Reactant concentration at equilibrium condition is zero
  • D. All A., B. and C.

Explanation

An irreversible reaction can be treated as a reversible reaction whose equilibrium lies completely toward products, so the reactant concentration at equilibrium is effectively zero. Its equilibrium conversion is therefore essentially one, not zero.
