Which arrow is used to indicate a reverse or backward reaction in a chemical equation?

The arrow that is used to indicate a reverse or backward reaction in a chemical equation is called a double-headed arrow.


Why do you use a double arrow to show the dissociation of a weak acid or weak base in aqueous solution?

The double arrow indicates that the reaction is reversible and that the weak acid or base is only partially dissociating in water. This symbol is used to represent the equilibrium that exists between the undissociated molecules and the dissociated ions in the solution.


Why do some chemical equations use double arrows while some do not?

A double arrow shows that the reaction is reversible, it represents an equilibrium in which the products on the right can react together and produce the left hand side. A chemical equation without a double arrow isn't reversible and can only go in one direction.


Why do we use a double arrow in the dissociation equation for a weak acid?

The double arrow in a dissociation equation for a weak acid represents that the reaction can occur in both the forward and reverse directions. Weak acids only partially dissociate in water, so the equilibrium can shift in either direction depending on the conditions.


What does a double arrow mean in a chemical reaction?

A double arrow in a chemical reaction indicates that the reaction is reversible, meaning it can proceed in both the forward and reverse directions. The reaction can reach an equilibrium where the forward and reverse reactions occur at the same rate.
