It is generally said that reactants react so that they can achieve a lower energy state. Then why does a reversible reaction occur in the first place?
If catalysts lower activation energy both ways in a reversible reactions by making the transition state less thermodynamically unfavourable, then why is it that the transition state sometimes decides to go backward to form the reactants?
