Chemical Equilibrium

What is meant by chemical equilibrium? Discuss the characteristics of chemical equilibrium.

Chemical equilibrium is the state of the system in which there is no observable change in the properties of system with time. The rate of forward reaction is equal to the rate of backward reaction and there is no change in the observable properties of the reaction system which is achieved only in a reversible reaction performed in a closed system.

The characteristics of chemical equilibrium are :-

Chemical equilibrium is dynamic in nature. When a reversible reaction has attained equilibrium...

Chemical and Physical Equilibrium

↪ A reversible reaction, whether physical or chemical, proceed to a limited extent and both reactants and products are available in the reaction mixture such that the concentrations of reactants an...

The Law of Mass Action and Equilibrium Law

↪ From many experimental observations, C.M. Guldberg and P. Waage (Norwegian) in 1863 proposed a generalization in the form of law of action of mass.↪ An attempt to correlate the rate of a chemical...

Effects of Change of External Conditions in Dynamic Equilibrium

↪ A French chemist Le Chatelier studied the effect of pressure, temperature and concentration on a large number of chemical equilibria and consequently he introduced a principle of mobile equilibri...

State and explain Lichateliers principle and discuss its application.

1. Le-Chatelier's principle

Equilibrium state of a reversible reaction can be disturbed by changing temperature, pressure, volume and concentration of reaction system. This fact was thoroughly studied by a French Chemist Henry Louis Le-Chatelier in 1884. He made a generalization which is termed as Le-Chatelier's principle. This principle states that, ‘when a system in equilibrium is subjected to a change in temperature, pressure, volume and concentration, the equilibrium shifts in such a...

What do you mean by equilibrium state?

Chemicalequilibriumrefers to thestateof a systeminwhich the concentration of the reactant and the concentration of the products do not change with time and the system does not display any further changeinproperties.

Kc and Kp and Their Relationship

↪ Kc is the equilibrium constant of reaction when active masses of all the components of the reaction is expressed in molar concentration terms.↪ Kp is the equilibrium constant of the gaseous reac...
