The irreversible reaction, X → Y, is the special case of the reversible reaction, X ⇌ Y, in which the _____________________?

Correct answer: D. All A., B. and C.

  • A. Equilibrium constant is infinite
  • B. Fractional conversion of 'A' at equilibrium is unity
  • C. Concentration of 'A' at equilibrium is zero
  • D. All A., B. and C.

Explanation

An irreversible reaction is the limiting reversible case with an infinite equilibrium constant. Consequently, the equilibrium conversion is unity and the equilibrium concentration of A is zero, so all three statements apply.
