Question

What is dissociation reaction?

Answer 1

1. A dissociation reaction is defined as a reaction when larger molecules will dissociate to form new molecules by the use of some energy.
2. The required energy is found in the form of heat or electricity.
3. Dissociation reaction is reversible in nature, where a single reactant will break down to form two or more products.
4. The differentiated molecules changes to form smaller atoms, molecules, ions, etc.
5. For example- The dissociation of Hydrogen chloride into their ions.
6. The reaction is represented as follows:
   $\mathrm{HCl}\left(\mathrm{aq}\right)\rightleftharpoons {\mathrm{H}}^{+}\left(\mathrm{aq}\right)+{\mathrm{Cl}}^{-}\left(\mathrm{aq}\right)$.
