Question
What is a reversible reaction? Provide an example.
Answer
A reversible reaction is a chemical reaction where the products can react to form the original reactants. An example is the thermal decomposition of ammonium chloride, which can break down into ammonia and hydrogen chloride gas, and can also reform ammonium chloride when the gases react.
Explanation
This question tests the student's understandingof the definition of reversible reactions and their ability to provide a relevant example. It assesses recall and understandingof key concepts in reversible reactions.
Common mistake
Misinterpreting Reversible Reactions
Students often confuse the products of a reversible reaction with the reactants, thinking they cannot revert back to the original substances.
Remember that in a reversible reaction, the products can react to form the original reactants. Practice interpreting word and symbol equations to reinforce this concept.
