Chemical Equilibrium Formula
During the initial moments of a chemical reaction, the reactants collide and form products. As the reaction continues the amount of product increases and in certain situations, can turn back into reactants. When the rate of the forward reaction is equal to the rate of the reverse reaction, chemical equilibrium is established.
In a reaction that has reached equilibrium, a constant can be calculated using the law of mass action. The law of mass action uses a ratio of products over reactants with the following setup.
In the reaction:
where:
Kc = the equilibrium constant using the molar concentrations of reactants and products
Xx and Yy are the product concentrations raised to the power of their coefficients
Aa and Bb are the reactant concentrations raised to the power of their coefficients
signifies the reaction is at equilibrium
