NEETChemistryChemical Equilibrium
What is the significance of the double half arrows in the chemical equation "H 2 O (l) ⇌ H 2 O (vap)"?
Options
- AThey indicate the reaction is very slow
- BThey indicate the reaction is irreversible
- CThey indicate the reaction is in dynamic equilibrium
- DThey indicate the reaction is incomplete
Correct answer
C. They indicate the reaction is in dynamic equilibrium
Step-by-step solution
The double half arrows indicate that the processes in both directions are going on simultaneously, which signifies dynamic equilibrium.
