In the context of chemical reactions, what does "irreversible" mean?

In the context of chemical reactions, what does "irreversible" mean?

Options

  1. AThe reaction proceeds very slowly
  2. BThe reaction cannot be detected experimentally
  3. CThe reaction can only go in one direction
  4. DThe reaction reaches a dynamic equilibrium

Correct answer

C. The reaction can only go in one direction

Step-by-step solution

The term "irreversible" means that the reaction can only proceed in one direction and does not reach dynamic equilibrium.
