Chapter 18, Problem 82E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The three things that are to be done to increase the rate of the reverse reaction of the energy versus reaction progress graph of Figure $\text{18-3}$ are to be listed.

Concept introduction:

A reaction is said to be in equilibrium if the rate at which the forward reaction takes place becomes equal to the rate at which the backward reaction takes place. If any of the factors that affect the equilibrium changes, then the reaction shifts in either forward or backward direction so that the equilibrium condition is reestablished.
