Lab: Types of Reactions

Question 2 • IA-Chemistry A Survey of Chemistry A

Which are examples of reversible reactions? Check all that apply.

Answer
A
Iodine and chlorine can react to form iodine chloride. At equilibrium, the system contains a mixture of iodine, chlorine, and iodine chloride.
B
Sodium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid react readily to form sodium chloride and water. The reverse reaction does not occur.
C
Hydrogen and nitrogen react to form ammonia. At low pressure, the equilibrium system contains all three substances.

Explanation

A reversible reaction can proceed in both directions, so reactants and products can coexist at equilibrium. Choice A describes iodine chloride forming while iodine and chlorine remain, and choice C describes hydrogen and nitrogen forming ammonia with all three substances present at equilibrium. Choice B is not reversible because it explicitly says the reverse reaction does not occur.
