### Reverse reaction rate?

How do you find the reverse reaction rate of a reaction?

Assuming you are asking about the question on the final, the forward reaction rate and equilibrium constant was given. You can then use the equation kforward/kreverse = K to solve for the reverse rate constant.

### Re: Reverse reaction rate?

The reverse reaction rate can be found if you know the equilibrium constant and the forward reaction rate. The equilibrium constant is equal to the forward rate divided by the reverse rate.

Because K, the equilibrium constant, is equal to the forward rate divided by the reverse rate, knowing K and the forward rate will give you the reverse rate.

### Re: Reverse reaction rate?

Look at the rate constants of the forward and reverse reactions. The equilibrium constant K is equivalent to the forward rate constant divided by the reverse rate constant.
