What happens in reversible reaction?
There are two key reactions one is endothermic and the other is exothermic.
5 of 13
What happens in a closed system?
The rate of the forward and reverse reactions is equal at equilibrium.
6 of 13
What happens when you change the reaction conditions?
It can change the amounts of products and reactants in a reaction mixture at equilibrium.

What can affect reversible reactions?
Pressure

What does increasing the temperature do?
It favours the endothermic reaction.
9 of 13
What does decreasing the temperature do?
It favours the exothermic reaction.
