Abstract
In a reversible process, if the rate of backward reaction is much less as compared to the rate of forward reaction, the equilibrium will be far away from the starting end and the reaction may be found to follow a simple and straightforward path as discussed earlier. However, when the reaction rates are appreciable for both the forward and backward directions, the kinetics must be taken into consideration for both the direction.
