Okay, so we've done all of this work on reversible reactions and equilibrium: Le Chatelier's Principle, Factors effecting euqilibrium, The Equilbrium constant...and so on.
But let's go back to the basics.
What is a reversible reaction?
A reversible reaction is one that can function in the forward direction (producing products) and also in the reverse direction (producing reactants). The products are capable of breaking down into the reactants which got them into that state.
How do you establish a reversible reaction?
Well, in order for this to work, the reaction HAS to take place in a closed system.
Any other requirements for a reversible reaction? Can any reaction be reversed?
