Symbol used for non-reversible reactions

Single arrow (→)

Why CO2CO_2 gas prevents backward reaction

It leaves/escapes the reaction

Reversible reactions

Proceed in forward and backward directions

Products in reversible reactions can

Regenerate the original reactants

Symbol used for reversible reactions

Double arrow (⇌)

Example of reversible reaction

H2+I22HIH_2 + I_2 ⇌ 2HI

Forward reaction of H2+I22HIH_2 + I_2 ⇌ 2HI

H2+I22HIH_2 + I_2 → 2HI

Backward reaction of H2+I22HIH_2 + I_2 ⇌ 2HI

2HIH2+I22HI → H_2 + I_2

Purpose of ⇌ symbol

Shows reaction is reversible/goes both ways
