Question

anyone have all the answers to chemical reaction systems online practice? (connexus)

Think of the burning of wood in a campfire. Why can’t this reaction reach equilibrium?(1 point)

- The reaction releases energy.

- The exact amount of wood has to be added over time.

- The reaction is not reversible.


- Mass is lost during the reaction.

Answer 1

The burning of woods is not a reaction that can reach an equilibrium because the reaction does not proceed in opposing directions.

Reversible reactions

These are reactions that proceed both forward and backward towards the products and reactants respectively.

When the rates of the forward and backward reactions in a reversible reaction are equal, the reaction is said to be in equilibrium.

The burning of woods only proceeds in one way, towards the products.

Thus, an equilibrium cannot be established in this case.
