How can synthesis and decomposition reactions be the reverse of one another?

This can be proved by taking the example of photosynthesis and cellular respiration. In photosynthesis molecules of water and carbon dioxide are converted into glucose and oxygen. In respiration, glucose and oxygen react to form carbon dioxide and water.

The synthesis of decomposition of nitrogen dioxide is endothermic and nonspontaneous at room temperature what must be true regarding this reaction?
The reverse reaction is exothermic and spontaneous.
Decomposition of water and synthesis of water are reverse chemical reactions?
Yes, they are, via the following reaction: 2 H2O-->OH- + H3O+ However, the acid dissociation constant, a.k.a Ka-value, for this reaction is 1.0*10^-14. This means that the equilibrium for this reaction is on the far left. So, although pure water does dissociate, this happens only in minute amounts.
Which occurs when the forward and reverse reactions occur at the same time?
Entropy
Why are equilibrium expressions not written for reactions that go to completion?
Equilibrium expressions cannot be written for complete reactions, because you have to have the forward rate, as well as a reverse rate. Complete reactions do not have reverse rates, because they become complete, and all of the reactants are used up. Complete reactions only produce products, and the products don't produce reactants. word count for answer: 52
What is equilibrium-limited reactions?
Whereby the ratio of the forward and reverse reaction rate approaches unity.
What is the reverse reaction type of synthesis?
Probable you think to a decompostion reaction.
The synthesis of decomposition of nitrogen dioxide is endothermic and nonspontaneous at room temperature what must be true regarding this reaction?
The reverse reaction is exothermic and spontaneous.
What is the reverse equation of the light reactions?
Respiration, or Dark reactions. Specify what you mean by reverse.
Decomposition of water and synthesis of water are reverse chemical reactions?
Yes, they are, via the following reaction: 2 H2O-->OH- + H3O+ However, the acid dissociation constant, a.k.a Ka-value, for this reaction is 1.0*10^-14. This means that the equilibrium for this reaction is on the far left. So, although pure water does dissociate, this happens only in minute amounts.
What is the Reverse of dehydration synthesis?
hydrolysis i think
What is reverse of dehydration synthesis?
hydrolysis i think
Write both forward and reverse reactions and describe the macroscopic characterstics of each?
macroscopic characteristics of both forward and reverse reactions
How can be dehydration synthesis reversed?
In chemistry, condensation reactions are when covalent bonds are formed between molecules and a water molecule is generated as a byproduct. The reverse of this process is hydrolysis, whereby water is consumed in order to cleave a covalent bond.
How do you reverse dehydration synthesis?
the opposite of the dehydration synthesis is hydrolysis. it does the exact opposite which is to break apart a molecule by adding a water molecule.
What happens if the forward and reverse reactions are equal?
Equilibrium.
Which enables DNA to be synthesize from RNA?
The reverse transcriptase enzyme is responsible for synthesis of DNA from an RNA template by the process of reverse transcription.
How is retrovirus different from DNA virus?
Retro virus has reverse transcription in its replication cycle. In other words, rna is template for synthesis of dna. With dna virus, there is no reverse transcription in the replication cycle. Dna is the template for dna synthesis.
