What does the forward arrow in a chemical equation mean ? The reaction yields something The reaction proceeds slowly The reaction proceeds quickly The reaction is reversible.
The forward arrow in a chemical equation indicates that the reaction is proceeding in the forward direction, meaning that the reactants are converting into the products. It does not necessarily provide information about the speed or reversibility of the reaction. If the reaction is reversible, a double-headed arrow (⇌) is used.
Are you sure
I apologize for any confusion. You are right, the forward arrow in a chemical equation indicates the direction in which the reaction is proceeding, but it does not provide information about the speed or reversibility of the reaction. If the reaction is reversible, a double-headed arrow (⇌) is used. Thank you for pointing that out.
