[EX Q]: Passage: Some chemical reactions can occur in only one direction. These reactions are called irreversible reactions. The reactants can change to the products, but the products cannot change back to the reactants. These reactions are like making a cake. The ingredients of a cakesuch as eggs and flourare the reactants. They are mixed together and baked to form the cake, which is the product (see Figure below ). The cake can't be "unbaked" and "unmixed" to change it back to the raw eggs, flour, and other ingredients. So making a cake is irreversible. Answer: irreversible
[EX A]: What are reactions that can occur only in one direction called?

[EX Q]: Passage: The moment magnitude scale is the favored method of measuring earthquake magnitudes. It measures the total energy released by an earthquake. Moment magnitude is calculated by two things. One is the length of the fault break. The other is the distance the ground moves along the fault. Answer: moment magnitude scale
[EX A]:
What scale measures the total energy released by an earthquake?
