What is an Opposing Reaction?

Opposing reactions or reversible reactions are those in which both forward and backward reaction takes place simultaneously. To start with, the rate of forward reaction is very large and it decreases as reactant concentration decreases with time. Similarly, initially the rate of backward reaction is slow and it increases as product concentration increases with time.
The state at which the rate of forward reaction equals the rate of backward reaction is called the equilibrium state. Thus, equilibrium is a dynamic equilibrium where all the participants of a reaction are being formed as fast as they are being destroyed and hence no further change in the various concentrations is observed.

What are the classifications of Opposing Reactions?

A reversible reaction may be classified on the basis of orders of elementary forward and backward reactions. We describe below a few reversible reactions classified accordingly:
1. First Order Opposed by First Order Reaction
2. First Order Opposed by Second Order Reaction
3. Second Order Opposed by First Order Reaction
4. Second Order Opposed by Second Order Reaction.
