The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given reactions is reversible, we need to analyze each reaction based on the characteristics of reversible and irreversible reactions. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand Reversible and Irreversible Reactions:** - A reversible reaction can proceed in both forward and backward directions, represented by a double arrow (⇌). This means that reactants can form products, and products can revert back to reactants. - An irreversible reaction only proceeds in one direction, represented by a single arrow (→). This means that once the reactants form products, they cannot revert back to the original reactants. 2. **Analyze the Given Reactions:** - **Reaction 1:** Hydrogen (H₂) + Iodine (I₂) ⇌ Hydrogen Iodide (HI) - This reaction is reversible because both reactants (H₂ and I₂) can combine to form products (HI), and HI can decompose back into H₂ and I₂. - **Reaction 2:** Barium Hydroxide (Ba(OH)₂) + Sulfuric Acid (H₂SO₄) → Barium Sulfate (BaSO₄) + Water (H₂O) - This reaction is irreversible because it produces a precipitate (BaSO₄) and cannot revert back to the original reactants. - **Reaction 3:** Sodium Chloride (NaCl) + Silver Nitrate (AgNO₃) → Silver Chloride (AgCl) + Sodium Nitrate (NaNO₃) - This reaction is also irreversible because it produces a precipitate (AgCl) and does not revert back to the original reactants. - **Reaction 4:** Iron (Fe) + Sulfur (S) → Iron Sulfide (FeS) - This reaction is irreversible because once iron and sulfur react to form iron sulfide, they do not revert back to iron and sulfur. 3. **Conclusion:** - Among the four reactions analyzed, the only reversible reaction is: - **Hydrogen + Iodine ⇌ Hydrogen Iodide** ### Final Answer: The reversible reaction is **Hydrogen + Iodine → Hydrogen Iodide**. ---
