Reversibly & Isothermally

[Daisy Palomera 3B]

What does it mean when a system is expanding reversibly and isothermally?

[Joslyn_Santana_2B]

I think it refers to the work, and which equation you would use in your calculations. You would use W=-nRTln(V2/V1).
It also means that deltaU is 0

What is the difference between reversible and irreversible reactions (conceptually, not mathematically)?

[Michael Lesgart 1H]

In reversible reactions, reactants react with other reactants to form products, and the products react with other products to form more reactants. Essentially, it is a reaction cycle.

In an irreversible reaction, reactants react with other reactants to form products, and the products do not form reactants.

hope this helped
