Which of the following is a characteristic of a reversible reaction?

  • A
    It never proceeds to completion
  • Correct answer
    B
    It can be influenced by a catalyst
  • C
    It proceeds only in forward direction
  • D
    Number of moles of reactants and products are equal.

Solution

Reversible reactions are those reaction in which there is equilibrium established at every infinitesimal step. But the rate of forward and rate of backward reaction can be influenced (or speed up) by the use of catalyst.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
