Reversible: When reactions are reversible, it means that, it can go both forward and backward.

E.g:

*A and B react to C and D but in reversible reactions C and D react to or from A and B.

*Water can be ice and ice can be water.

In a irreversible reaction, the reactants react to form the products, which cannot revert back into reactants. In reversible reactions, as the reactants react with other reactants to form products, the products are reacting with other products to form reactants.

Generally organic chemical reactions are reversible.,

A definitive statement for reversible reactions is 'At equilibrium, the rate of the forward reaction is equal to the rate of the reversible reaction'.

An example of a reversible reaction is Ethanoic Acid and Ethanol .

The products are Ethyl Ethanoate and Water. These producst can 'back react' (reversible) to reform the original reactnats.

The equ'n is written as

CH3COOH + CH3CH2OH CH3COOCH2CH3 + H2O

NB Note the double headed arrow to indicate reversibilioty. Sometimes the arrow may be written '

Which word did you not understand? The term is entirely straightforward English: a chemical reaction that is reversible. I'm not sure how to explain it in words much simpler than that.

What happens after you add just reactants to a reversible reaction?

In a reversible reaction, the reactants and products become to a dynamic equilibrium after some time. after gaining this equilibrium, when more reactants are added the equilibrium breaks. So according to the Le Chetelier principle, the reaction will proceed until the equilibrium is gained.
