Determine whether each of these processes is reversible or irreversible.Drag the appropriate items to their respective bins.Bins: Reversible and Irreversible1) solid melting infinitesimally slowly at its melting point2) a single swing of a real pendulum3) gas condensing infinitesimally slowly at its condensation point4) solid melting infinitesimally slowly above its melting point5) liquid freezing below its freezing point6) liquid freezing infinitesimally slowly at its freezing point7) a single swing of a frictionless pendulum8) liquid vaporizing infinitesimally slowly at its boiling point9) gas condensing below its condensation point10) liquid vaporizing above its boiling point

A reversible reaction is one that can go in both ways, that is the forward reaction can react to produce the product and the backward reaction can also react to give back the reactants. In a reversible reaction, no new substances are formed and the heat evolved is not much compared to Irreversible reaction.

An Irreversible reaction is one that can not go in both ways. i.e reactants can react to give products but products cant react to give back the reactants. In irreversible reaction, new substances are formed and a huge amount of heat is evolved.

There is reversibility between melting point and freezing point, the differences is if the solid is melting above its melting point, in such case, it is an irreversible reaction.

Answer:

Reversible Processes:

- solid melting infinitesimally slowly at its melting point

- gas condensing infinitesimally slowly at its condensation point

- a single swing of frictionless pendulum

- liquid vaporizing infinitesimally slowly at its boling point

- liquid freezing infinitesimally slowly at its freezing point

Irreversible Processes:

- a single swing of a real pendulum

- solid melting infinitesimally slowly above its melting point

- liquid freezing below its freezing point

- gas condensing below its condenation point

- liquid vaporizing above its boiling point

Explanation:

Hint to help solve: "spontaneous processes, such as a solid melting above its melting point, are not reversible according to the scientific definition. Certainly one could place the melted substance in a cold environment and it would freeze again, but the surroundings would not be restored to their original state before melting and, in fact, would be further altered in the cooling process" - Mastering Chem.
