Chemical equilibrium — In a chemical reaction, chemical equilibrium is the state in which the concentrations of the reactants and products have not yet changed with time. It occurs only in reversible reactions, and not in irreversible reactions. Usually, this state… … Wikipedia
chemical equilibrium — a condition in the course of a reversible chemical reaction in which no net change in the amounts of reactants and products occurs. A reversible chemical reaction is one in which the products, as soon as they are formed, react to produce… … Universalium
chemical science — noun the science of matter; the branch of the natural sciences dealing with the composition of substances and their properties and reactions • Syn: ↑chemistry • Derivationally related forms: ↑chemic (for: ↑chemistry), ↑chemist (for: ↑ … Useful english dictionary
equilibrium law — noun (chemistry) the principle that (at chemical equilibrium) in a reversible reaction the ratio of the rate of the forward reaction to the rate of the reverse reaction is a constant for that reaction • Syn: ↑law of chemical equilibrium • Topics … Useful english dictionary
law of nature — noun a generalization that describes recurring facts or events in nature (Freq. 3) the laws of thermodynamics • Syn: ↑law • Hypernyms: ↑concept, ↑conception, ↑construct • … Useful english dictionary
Chemical thermodynamics — is the study of the interrelation of heat and work with chemical reactions or with physical changes of state within the confines of the laws of thermodynamics. Chemical thermodynamics involves not only laboratory measurements of various… … Wikipedia
Chemical potential — Chemical potential, symbolized by μ, is a measure first described by the American engineer, chemist and mathematical physicist Josiah Willard Gibbs. It is the potential that a substance has to produce in order to alter a system.[1] In broadest… … Wikipedia
Chemical stability — when used in the technical sense in chemistry, means thermodynamic stability of a chemical system.[1] Thermodynamic stability occurs when a system is in its lowest energy state, or chemical equilibrium with its environment. This may be a dynamic… … Wikipedia
Law of mass action — For other uses, see Mass action (disambiguation). In Chemistry, the law of mass action is a mathematical model that explains and predicts behaviors of solutions in dynamic equilibrium. It can be described with two aspects: 1) the equilibrium… … Wikipedia
Chemical kinetics — Reaction rate tends to increase with concentration a phenomenon explained by collision theory. Chemical kinetics, also known as reaction kinetics, is the study of rates of chemical processes. Chemical kinetics includes investigations of how… … Wikipedia
