Reversible and Irreversible Process
How do you tell when you are dealing with a reversible and irreversible process?

Re: Reversible and Irreversible Process
A reversible chemical reaction will be noted with two arrows and will have an equilibrium constant. Reactions that proceed completely from reactants to products are denoted with a one-way arrow and do not have equilibrium constants.

Re: Reversible and Irreversible Process
Most of the time if its a chemical reaction, you can tell by the arrows, if it is an equilibrium arrow, its reversible and if it is a one sided arrow, it is irreversible. However when it comes to change of state and matter, processes like melting and freezing etc are usually reversible as they are temperature dependent, which can be controlled.

Re: Reversible and Irreversible Process
Reversible reactions have a two way arrow in a chemical reaction, while irreversible ones will have a one-way arrow.
