Chemical Equilibrium — K, Q & Le Chatelier
Exam-focused revision notes on Chemical Equilibrium — K, Q & Le Chatelier for CSIR-NET Chemical Sciences, GATE Chemistry and IIT-JAM — the core concepts, the formulas worth memorising, the traps that cost marks, and a quick-recall table.
Dynamic equilibrium
At equilibrium the forward and reverse rates are equal, not zero. A system responds to a stress so as to partially oppose it.
