Dario Graham · Answer 1

forward reaction

a reaction in which reactent react to form product is known as forward reaction

reverse reaction

a reaction in which product react to form reactent is known as reverse reaction

At equilibrium stage

In a chemical equilibrium, the forward and reverse reactions occur at equal rates, and the concentrations of products and reactants remain constant. A catalyst speeds up the rate of a chemical reaction, but has no effect upon the equilibrium position for that reaction.

changing amount of reactent and product

lechatlier principle

" if you impose any change in concentration (reactant or product), temperature or pressure on chemical system, the system response in that way that opposes the change"
