The forward arrow in a chemical equation typically indicates that the reaction is proceeding in the forward direction. This means that the reactants on the left side of the equation are transforming into the products on the right side. It does not necessarily imply anything about the rate of the reaction or whether it is reversible. However, in some cases, the double arrow (↔) is used to indicate a reversible reaction where the reactants can also be formed from the products.
