Equilibrium Constant

Science > Chemistry > Chemical Equilibrium > Equilibrium Constant Characteristics of Equilibrium Constant: It has a definite value for every chemical reaction at a particular temperature. It is independent of the initial concentrations of the reacting species. It changes with the change in the temperature. It depends on the nature of the reaction. It is […]

Gibb’s Energy and Chemical Equilibrium

Science > Chemistry > Chemical Equilibrium > Gibb’s Energy and Chemical Equilibrium Gibb’s Energy or Free Energy: Gibb’s energy or free energy is a thermodynamic function which helps us in the development of a criterion of spontaneity or feasibility of a process. It refers to the capacity of the system to do useful work. Gibb’s […]

Chemical Equilibrium

Science > Chemistry > Chemical Equilibrium > Chemical Equilibrium Rate of a Chemical Reaction: Rate of reaction is the quantities of the reactants converted into the products in unit time. Or Number of moles of the reactants used up or the number of moles of the products formed per unit time.                         Mathematically it can […]
