Question

In the reversible reaction A ⇌ B, identify the forward and reverse reactions.

Answer

The forward reaction is A convertingto B, while the reverse reaction is B convertingback to A.

Explanation

This question tests the understandingof reversible reactions by requiringthe identification of both the forward and reverse processes. It assesses recall of basicdefinitions in chemical reactions.

Common mistake

Confusing Forward and Reverse Reactions

Students often confuse which is the forward reaction and which is the reverse reaction in a reversible reaction.

To fix this, carefully analyze the reaction equation and identify the direction of the reactants to products as the forward reaction, and products back to reactants as the reverse reaction.
