Reversible reactions and dynamic equilibrium
Reversible reactions and dynamic equilibrium
A reversible reaction can go forwards and backwards, such as N2(g)+3H2(g)⇌2NH3(g)N_2(g) + 3H_2(g) \rightleftharpoons 2NH_3(g)N2(g)+3H2(g)⇌2NH3(g). In a closed system, the forward reaction starts fastest, but as products build up the reverse reaction speeds up.
