Law of Chemical equilibrium

Law of Chemical equilibrium or equilibrium constant:-

Let us consider the reaction

Rate of forward reaction = Kf[A][B]

Rate of backward reaction = KB[C][D]

At equilibrium

Rate of forward reaction = Rate of backward reaction

Kf [A][B] = KB [C][D]

Hence, equilibrium constant may be defined as ratio b/w the product of molar concentration of the product to that the molar concentration of the reactant with each concentration term raised to a power equal to numerical coefficient in the balanced chemical equation & expression is known as law of chemical equilibrium:

Equilibrium constant:

Equilibrium constant in gaseous system:

The concentration of gases may also be expressed in terms of their partial pressure

PV=nRT

PA = CA.RT

PB = CB.RT

PC = CC.RT

PD = CD.RT

KP = KC RT(c+d)-(a+b)

KP = KC (RT)Δng
