Chemistry Question on Equilibrium
An example of a reversible reaction is
A
Pb(NO3)2(aq)+2Nal((aq)=Pbl2(s)+2NaNO3(aq)
B
AgNO3(aq)+HC1(aq)=AgCl(s)+HNO3(aq)
C
2Na(s)+2H2(O(l)=2NaOH(aq)+H2(g)
D
KNO3(aq)+NaCl(aq)=KCl(aq)+NaNO3(aq)
Answer
KNO3(aq)+NaCl(aq)=KCl(aq)+NaNO3(aq)
Explanation
Solution
In reactions (a), (b) and (c), atleast one of the product is either insoluble precipitate or a gas that drive the reaction continuously to right and do not allow equilibrium to be established. Following is the reversible reaction
KNO3(aq)+NaCl(aq)=KCl(aq)+NaNO3(aq)
