Reversible Reactions

062 - Reversible Reactions

In this video Paul Andersen describes how reversible reactions achieve equilibrium as reactants are converted to products and products are converted to reactants. A model shows how forward reaction rates and reverse reactions rates approach equality at equilibrium. Physical, chemical, biological, and ecological examples of reversible reactions are included.
