Equilibrium

Equilibrium in physical processes appears

Equilibrium in physical processes appears in systems like solid-liquid, liquid-vapour, and solid-vapour changes. The two opposite processes continue t

A reversible reaction reaches chemical equilibrium

A reversible reaction reaches chemical equilibrium when forward and backward reaction rates become equal and the concentrations of all species stop ch

At constant temperature

At constant temperature, the rate of a reaction is proportional to the product of active masses of reacting species, each raised to its stoichiometric

Kc is written using equilibrium concentrations

Kc is written using equilibrium concentrations, while Kp uses equilibrium partial pressures. For gaseous reactions, Kp and Kc are related by Kp = Kc(R

Q has the same form as

Q has the same form as the equilibrium constant expression but is calculated at any stage of the reaction. If Q=K, the system is at equilibrium; if Q<
