Reversible reaction A reversible reaction is a chemical in which the products can be converted back to reactants. ... Ammonium chloride + heat ammonia + hydrogen chloride NH4Cl(s) NH3(g) + HCl(g) Reversing the reaction conditions reverses the direction of chemical change (typical of a reversible reaction). ... The decomposition is endothermic this is when heat is absorbed or heat taken in; the formation of ammonium chloride is exothermic. This is when heat is released or heat is given out. ... The reaction is reversible and the production of ammonia is exothermic. ...

Some Processes are reversible others are irreversible. ... The first law of thermodynamics gives a precise definition of heat. ... The first law of thermodynamics instead identifies caloric or heat, as form of energy. ... The amount of heat transferred into a system plus the amount of work done on a system must result in corresponding increase of internal energy in a system. Heat and work are mechanisms by which systems exchange energy with each other....

Therefore, within limits, the rate of the reaction will increase. 3) The heat of the molecules in the system will increase. ... Some of this heat may be converted into chemical potential energy. ... Therefore too much heat can cause the rate of an enzyme-catalysed reaction to decrease because the enzyme or substrate becomes denatured and inactive. ... Allosteric regulators are always reversible. They regulate important pathways in cells so they have to be reversible. ...

So they by him, a 10 gallon tank, a heat rock and some bedding. ... Another misconception is heat rocks, yes iguanas do need a source of heat but, these are hazardous to the health of the Iggy, they can leave horrendous burns on the lizard in some cases killing them. ... He is suffering from "metabolic bone disease" which could be easily reversible if gave him better food and a calcium supplement. Now the iguana slowly withers away to a brittle bag of bones in a tank that is too small and a heat rock that is too hot and a price that is too cheap. ...

Most chemical reactions produce energy in the form of heat, but by confining chemicals inside the container and controlling the resulting reaction with a separator, batteries produce electrical energy. ... The other types of batteries are secondary batteries containing reversible chemical materials allowing them to be recharged and used again. ... This will short-circuit the battery, generating high heat. ...

In introducing the 2nd law of thermodynamics, we consider the cyclic heat engines consisting of four separate processes. ... In Carnot Cycle, it would be difficult to control the condensation process (heat rejections from fluid) so that it stopped as state 1. ... Now the low temperature and the pressure vapor enters the condenser, where heat will be rejected from working fluid (vapor) and it will condense. ... In the idealized Rankine cycle, heat transfer takes place to the working fluid in a constant pressure process in a boiler. ... EFFICIENCY OF RANKINE CYCLE Heat supplied QH =m (h2-h1) ...

The above process is shown in the equation below: Ag+(aq) + Cl(aq)  AgCl(s) Though the produced salt is insoluble, some small amount of the precipitate does dissolve in water as shown in the equation below: AgCl(s)  Ag+(aq) + Cl-(aq) Looking at the above two equations it is clear that the precipitation reaction is reversible. ... The greatest chance of solubility of the precipitate back to ions occurs when the exact amount of Silver ions are added to precipitate the chloride ions making the system in equilibrium hence it is preferred that some of exc...

This is because the structure of the enzyme molecule is vibrating so quickly due to kinetic energy from the heat, that some of the bonds holding the enzyme molecule in its precise shape begin to break. ... It is reversible because increasing the concentration of the substrate can reverse it. ...

Photosynthesis and respiration are two very complex and they could only be considered reversible in the broadest ecological sense.Priestly and Ingenhouz overlooked a fact about respiration, they only said that animals respire and make air unfit for life, and did not say anything about plant cells, that left in a dark area will run out of air, and will die also. ... The energy that is lost in this "movingaE may be released as heat or used for work.In photosystem-II excited electrons pass through a series of stair step transfers involving several unique electron carriers, including one cal...
