Law of Mass Action • Rate of any given chemical reaction is proportional to the product of the concentrations of the reactants. • Example: with reaction rate • Rate of change of concentration of A: • Rate of change of concentration of B: • Rate of change of concentration of C: • [A], [B], concentration of respective chemicals, t is time.
A B C +
Law of Mass Action (Cont.) • Many reactions are reversible: e.g. , forward rate constant, , reverse rate constant. • After applying the law of mass action:
