Key Concepts

Chemical Equilibrium

Chemical equilibrium refers to the state of a reversible reaction where the rate of the forward reaction equals the rate of the reverse reaction, resulting in constant concentrations of the reactants and products over time. Understanding equilibrium is essential for analyzing how changes in conditions (like concentration, pressure, or temperature) affect the balance of a chemical system.

Equilibrium Constant

The equilibrium constant (K) is a numerical value that expresses the ratio of the product activities to the reactant activities at equilibrium, each raised to the power of their stoichiometric coefficients. In heterogeneous equilibria, pure solids do not appear in the constant expression, simplifying calculations and helping predict the system's behavior under various conditions.

Partial Pressure

Partial pressure is the pressure exerted by an individual gas component in a mixture of gases. In reactions involving gaseous species, the partial pressure is used in the equilibrium constant expression in place of concentration, linking the physical property of pressure with the chemical composition at equilibrium.

pH and Buffer Solutions

pH is a measure of the acidity or basicity of an aqueous solution, representing the concentration of hydrogen ions (H+). Buffer solutions resist changes in pH upon addition of small amounts of acid or base, ensuring that the concentration of H+ remains constant, which is critical for accurately predicting the position of equilibrium in reactions involving protonated species.
