Why is the electrolytic dissociation represented by a reversible $(⇌)$ sign?

Open in App

Solution

For reversible dissociation in a chemical equilibrium,
$A B ⇌ A + B$
the dissociation constant $K_{a}$ is the ratio of dissociated to undissociated compound
Since dissociated species can be combined to form undissociated species driven by external effect, that is why electrolytic dissociation represented by a reversible ( $⇌$ ) sign.
