    Some chemical reactions are reversible, meaning they can proceed in both the forward and backward direction. When a reversible reaction reaches equilibrium, the rates of the forward and reverse reactions are equal and the concentrations of reactants and products remain constant. The composition of an equilibrium mixture can be altered by changing conditions like concentration, temperature, or pressure. Reactions are classified as reversible or irreversible depending on the activation energy of the reverse reaction.

    Reversible Reactions

    Many chemical reactions can proceed in one direction only. i.e. they cannot be reversed and
    they go towards completion.

    e.g. Neutralisation reaction between potassium hydroxide & hydrochloric Acid

    KOH(aq) + HCl(aq) → KCl(aq) + H2O(l)

    Some chemical reactions can be reversible .i.e. reactions can go either directions and they
    reached an equilibrium, instead of going towards completion.

    At equilibrium, the forward and backward reactions do not stop; they continue, but at the same
    speed. Hence, there is no overall change in the amounts of reactants and products.

    At the end of reaction, a mixture of reactants and products is present and they are known to be
    in equilibrium.

    e.g. Haber Process:           N2(g) + 3H2(g) ⇌ 2NH3(g)

    By altering conditions of temperature, pressure and  use of catalysts, these reactions can be
    adjusted to favour more reactants or more products.

    Whether a reaction is reversible or irreversible depends on activation energy.

    If the activation energy of the reverse reaction (i.e. Eb) is exceptionally high, then this
    reaction will be unfavourable and the reaction is described as irreversible.

    A reversible reaction (⇌) is a reaction that can take place in both directions – i.e. forward reaction
    and backward reaction.

    When the rate of forward reaction is equal to the rate of backward reaction, the reaction is said to
    have reached a state of dynamic equilibrium.
    When a chemical reaction reaches a state of dynamic equilibrium:

     the rate of forward reaction is equal to the rate of backward reaction


     the concentration of reactants and products remain unchanged (constant)
    The composition of an equilibrium mixture in a reversible reaction can be altered by changes in:

     concentration
     temperature
     pressure
     We have already seen that a reversible reaction is one that occurs in both directions

     When during the course of reaction, the rate of the forward reaction equals the rate of the

    reverse reaction, then the overall reaction is said to be in a state of equilibrium

     Equilibrium is dynamic i.e. the molecules on the left and right of the equation

    are changing into each other by chemical reactions constantly and at the same rate

     The concentration of reactants and products remains constant (given there is no other change

    to the system such as temperature and pressure)

     It only occurs in a closed system so that none of the participating chemical species are able to

    leave the reaction vessel
