reversible reactions

• what is the definition of reversible reactions?

  Reactions that can proceed in both the forward and reverse directions.
• reversible reactions will reach equilibrium when the forward and reverse reactions are of equal rate
• if the equilibrium goes to the right


  the concentration of products is greater than the reactants
• if the equilibrium goes to the left


  then the reactants is greater than the products
• reversible reactions can be exothermic and exothermic
• what does it mean if a system is at equilibrium


  a system is at equilibrium when both the forward and reverse reactions are happening at the same rate
