What are Reversible Reactions

reversible reaction is a chemical reaction that results in an equilibrium mixture of reactants and products. For a reaction involving two reactants and two products this can be expressed symbolically as

  aA + bB rightleftharpoons cC + dD

 

A and B can react to form C and D or, in the reverse reaction, C and D can react to form A and B. This is distinct from reversible process in thermodynamics.

 

The concentrations of reactants and products in an equilibrium mixture are determined by the analytical concentrations of the reagents (A and B or C and D) and the equilibrium constant, K. The magnitude of the equilibrium constant depends on the Gibbs free energy change for the reaction. So, when the free energy change is large (more than about 30 kJ mol−1), then the equilibrium constant is large (log K > 3) and the concentrations of the reactants at equilibrium are very small. Such a reaction is sometimes considered to be an irreversible reaction, although in reality small amounts of the reactants are still expected to be present in the reacting system. A truly irreversible chemical reaction is usually achieved when one of the products exits the reacting system, for example, as does carbon dioxide (volatile) in the reaction

 

 

Ca CO3 + 2HCl → CaCl2 + H2O + CO2

 

 

This was just an overview presented in front of you but you will be able to understand it more better when you actually watch the videos.
 Mr. Lalit Sardana (IIT JEE 243) is teaching you Reversible reaction with some topics like reactants, products, properties of reversible reactions in this video and he has been one of the most efficient teachers working in the field of education.

 

This video is not only useful from the school examintion point of view but it also helps in various competitive exams like AIEEE/ JEE Mains, JEE Advanced, AIPMT, AFMC, WBJEE, VITEEE, and many others. If you want to watch more videos related to this topic then subscribe our channel.
