Atomic Structure

In general, there is no chemical reaction that goes to completion. All reactions can be considered as reversible. Reversible reactions reach an equilibrium state when forward and reverse reaction proceeds at the same rate.The amount of reactants and products at equilibrium can be calculated by using simple equilibrium law.

In this topic, we will address a number of fundamental questions. How can the value of equilibrium constant of a system be determined by experiment? How can we calculate the value of equilibrium constant from the amounts of reactants and product present? How do the changes of concentration, pressure, temperature, volume and catalyst effect the position of equilibrium? In order to understand these changes, we need to understand the principles of dynamic equilibrium.
