Reversible Reactions (HSC SSCE Chemistry): Flashcards

Reaction that can proceed in both directions

Chemicals actively participating in the reaction

System where no matter can enter or leave

System allowing substances to be added or removed

Change in form/state without creating new substances

Reactants produce new substances with different properties

Forward and reverse reactions occur continuously

Double arrow ($\rightleftharpoons$)

Minimum energy required to break bonds in reactants

Both forward & reverse reactions need low activation energy
