Reversible reaction

|
A reversible reaction is a chemical reaction that may be reversed. In other words, the reactant and product of one reaction may reverse roles, without adding chemicals.
Symbolically:
<math>aA + bB \leftrightarrow cC + dD<math> - products <math>C<math> and <math>D<math> are produced from reactants <math>A<math> and <math>B<math>, but <math>C<math> and <math>D<math> can react to form <math>A<math> and <math>B<math>.
