Recent questions

  • What is equilibrium in chemistry?

    Equilibrium in chemistry refers to a state where the rates of forward and backward reactions are equal, resulting in a dynamic balance. It involves the establishment of constant measurable properties in a closed system.

  • How is equilibrium constant determined?

    The equilibrium constant, denoted as KC, is determined by the product of the concentrations of the products raised to their stoichiometric coefficients divided by the product of the concentrations of the reactants raised to their stoichiometric coefficients.

  • What is the significance of Le Chatelier's principle?

    Le Chatelier's principle details how a system at equilibrium responds to external disturbances. It predicts that a system will shift to counteract any changes imposed on it, aiming to maintain equilibrium.

  • How do buffer solutions work?

    Buffer solutions resist changes in pH by neutralizing added acids or bases, maintaining a relatively constant pH level. They consist of a weak acid and its conjugate base, or a weak base and its conjugate acid.

  • How are weak acids and bases defined?

    Weak acids and bases partially dissociate in solution, unlike strong acids and bases that completely dissociate. The degree of dissociation, represented by alpha, influences the dissociation constant and the behavior of acids and bases in reactions.
