Law of Mass Action In 1864 two Norwegian chemists namely Maximilian Guldberg and Peter Waage formulated the law of mass action, based on the experimental studies of many reversible reactions. The law states that, “At any instant, the rate of a chemical reaction at a given temperature is directly proportional to the product of the active masses of the reactants at that … [Read more...] about Law of Mass Action

Homogeneous and Hetrogeneous Equilibrium
Find free online Chemistry Topics covering a broad range of concepts from research institutes around the world. Homogeneous and Hetrogeneous Equilibrium In a homogeneous equilibrium, all the reactants and products are in the same phase. For example H2(g) + I2(g) ⇄ 2HI(g) In the above equilibrium, H2, I2 and HI are in the gaseous state. Similarly, for the following … [Read more...] about Homogeneous and Hetrogeneous Equilibrium
Chemical Equilibrium
Find free online Chemistry Topics covering a broad range of concepts from research institutes around the world. Chemical Equilibrium Similar to physical processes chemical reactions gradually attain a state of equilibrium after sometime. Let us consider a general reversible reaction. A + B ⇄ C + D Initially only A and B are present Soon, a few molecules of the products … [Read more...] about Chemical Equilibrium
Physical and Chemical Equilibrium
Find free online Chemistry Topics covering a broad range of concepts from research institutes around the world. Physical and Chemical Equilibrium There are different types of equilibrium. For example, if two persons with same weight sit on opposite sides of a see-saw at equal distance from the fulcrum, then the see-saw will be stationary and straight and it is said to be in … [Read more...] about Physical and Chemical Equilibrium
Introduction of Equilibrium
Find free online Chemistry Topics covering a broad range of concepts from research institutes around the world. Introduction of Equilibrium In our daily life, we observe several chemical and physical changes. For example, a banana gets ripened after few days, silver gets tarnished in few months and iron gets rusted slowly. These processes proceed in one direction. Now let … [Read more...] about Introduction of Equilibrium
