Reversible Reactions and Energy Changes

Understand that some chemical reactions are reversible and can proceed in both forward and backward directions. Learn how energy changes in reversible reactions are related to the direction of the reaction.

2 methodologies

Dynamic Equilibrium

Learn about dynamic equilibrium in closed systems where reactants and products cannot escape. Understand that at equilibrium, the forward and reverse reactions occur at the exact same rate.
