Question

Combustion reactions are reversible in nature.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B

False

A reaction in which reactants give products and products can give back the reactants is known as a reversible reaction. Example of a reversible reaction is:

$N_2\left(g\right)+3H_2\left(g\right)\leftrightharpoons 2N{H}_3\left(g\right)$

A reaction in which reactants give products and products cannot give back the reactants is known as an irreversible reaction. Example of an irreversible reaction is:

$2Mg\left(s\right)+O_2\left(g\right)\to 2MgO\left(s\right)$

The above reaction is a combustion reaction of a magnesium metal. All combustion reactions are irreversible in nature.
