The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the following reactions is reversible, we need to analyze the nature of the reactions provided. A reversible reaction is one where the products can revert back to the reactants under certain conditions. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Reactions**: - We need to look at the given reactions and identify their states (solid, liquid, gas) and the nature of the products formed. 2. **Analyze Reaction 1**: - Consider the reaction: H2(g) + I2(g) ⇌ 2 HI(g). - All reactants and products are in the gaseous state. - The reaction can proceed in both directions: H2 and I2 can combine to form HI, and HI can decompose back into H2 and I2. - **Conclusion**: This reaction is reversible. 3. **Analyze Reaction 2**: - Consider the reaction: A(l) + B(aq) → C(s) + D(l). - Here, a solid precipitate (C) is formed from liquid and aqueous reactants. - The formation of a solid from liquids typically does not allow for easy reversion without the input of energy. - **Conclusion**: This reaction is not reversible under normal conditions. 4. **Analyze Reaction 3**: - Consider the reaction: E(aq) + F(aq) → G(s). - Similar to the previous reaction, a solid is formed from aqueous reactants. - The reverse reaction would require significant energy input to break down the solid back into its aqueous components. - **Conclusion**: This reaction is not reversible. 5. **Analyze Reaction 4**: - Consider the reaction: H(s) + I(s) → J(s). - All reactants and products are solids. - The formation of products from solids typically does not allow for easy reversion without additional energy. - **Conclusion**: This reaction is not reversible. ### Final Conclusion: - The only reversible reaction among the options provided is **Reaction 1**: H2(g) + I2(g) ⇌ 2 HI(g).
