CHM 101 Stoichiometry of Chemical Reactions Objective Question

Question

What is an example of a competing reverse reaction mentioned in the notes?
Options
A CO + 2H₂ → CH₃OH
B N₂(g) + 3H₂(g) → 2NH₃(g) and the reverse decomposition 2NH₃(g) → N₂(g) + 3H₂(g)
Correct Answer
C 2Fe + 3Cl₂ → 2FeCl₃
D SiO₂ + 3C → SiC + 2CO₂
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

The notes give the example of ammonia synthesis where as the reaction proceeds, ammonia begins to decompose: 2NH₃(g) → N₂(g) + 3H₂(g).

Hint

The notes provide this specific example.
