Principle of microscopic reversibility

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The principle of microscopic reversibility states that in a system that is in equilibrium , each elementary process takes place at the same speed as the reverse process. According to Richard C. Tolman , the principle can be derived using the quantum mechanical expressions for the transition probability . It is important for considering chemical equilibria and for formulating kinetic equations for systems in which reactants are in equilibrium.
