  2. Chemical equilibrium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_equilibrium

    Equality of forward and backward reaction rates, however, is a necessary condition for chemical equilibrium, though it is not sufficient to explain why equilibrium occurs. Despite the limitations of this derivation, the equilibrium constant for a reaction is indeed a constant, independent of the activities of the various species involved ...

  3. Reversible reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reversible_reaction

    A reversible reaction is a reaction in which the conversion of reactants to products and the conversion of products to reactants occur simultaneously. [1]+ + A and B can react to form C and D or, in the reverse reaction, C and D can react to form A and B.

  4. Equilibrium chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equilibrium_chemistry

    Chemical equilibrium is a dynamic state in which forward and backward reactions proceed at such rates that the macroscopic composition of the mixture is constant. Thus, equilibrium sign ⇌ symbolizes the fact that reactions occur in both forward ⇀ {\displaystyle \rightharpoonup } and backward ↽ {\displaystyle \leftharpoondown } directions.

  5. Law of mass action - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_mass_action

    Guldberg and Waage also recognized that chemical equilibrium is a dynamic process in which rates of reaction for the forward and backward reactions must be equal at chemical equilibrium. In order to derive the expression of the equilibrium constant appealing to kinetics, the expression of the rate equation must be used.

  6. Arrhenius equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrhenius_equation

    In physical chemistry, the Arrhenius equation is a formula for the temperature dependence of reaction rates.The equation was proposed by Svante Arrhenius in 1889, based on the work of Dutch chemist Jacobus Henricus van 't Hoff who had noted in 1884 that the Van 't Hoff equation for the temperature dependence of equilibrium constants suggests such a formula for the rates of both forward and ...

  7. Chemical reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_reaction

    Reactions that proceed in the backward direction to approach equilibrium are often called non-spontaneous reactions, that is, is positive, which means that if they occur at constant temperature and pressure, they increase the Gibbs free energy of the reaction. They require input of energy to proceed in the forward direction.

    Moving backward is also common in sports — think soccer players and referees. There are even some backward running and walking races, plus people moving in reverse while competing in famous ...

  9. Rate equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rate_equation

    In this case, the rate of the forward and backward reactions are equal, a principle called detailed balance. Detailed balance is a property of the stoichiometric matrix N i j {\displaystyle N_{ij}} alone and does not depend on the particular form of the rate functions f j {\displaystyle f_{j}} .
