H2+O2 GIVES H2O , THIS IS A CHEMICAL REACTION SINCE A NEW PRODUCT IS FORMED , WHEN WE PASS ELECTRICITY IN H2O THEN WE WILL GET BACK H2 AND O2 , SO CAN WE CONSIDER SOME CHEMICAL REACTION TO BE REVERSIBILE ????
Dear Student,
One of condition for a reaction to be reversible is that the reaction do not go to the completion and proceed in both the direction. On contrary, formation of water from hydrogen and oxygen is an example of addition or synthesis reaction. While formation of hydrogen and oxygen from water is an example of decomposition reaction. The synthesis reaction and the decomposition reaction occur in one direction, therefore it is not a reversible reaction.
