14 results about "Reversible reaction" patented technology

A reversible reaction is a reaction where the reactants form products, which react together to give the reactants back. aA+bB<=>cC+dD A and B can react to form C and D or, in the reverse reaction, C and D can react to form A and B. This is distinct from reversible process in thermodynamics. Weak acids and bases undertake reversible reactions. For example, carbonic acid: H₂CO₃ ₍ₗ₎ + H₂O₍ₗ₎ ⇌ HCO₃⁻(aq) + H₃O⁺(aq).
