Science glossary film: Reversible reaction

A reversible reaction is one where the products of the initial reaction themselves react, producing a reverse reaction. By changing the conditions, such as temperature or pressure, or the concentration of reactants, the reverse direction of the reaction may be favoured, and a different equilibrium state reached.
