Summary

A state in which chemical potentials satisfy reaction-equilibrium conditions and macroscopic composition has no net tendency to change under fixed constraints.

Incoming relations (arrows to this concept)

Each relation below ends at this concept.

Gibbs energyChemical equilibrium

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Stable equilibrium minimizes the appropriate Gibbs energy subject to material, charge, and phase constraints at fixed temperature and pressure.

How to interpret this relation type

A theory, law, or interaction describes the behavior of the target within a stated regime. The edge detail must state important limits or qualifications.

Relation sources

Law of mass actionChemical equilibrium

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Thermodynamic mass action expresses equilibrium through activities; kinetic mass action is exact for elementary steps and model-dependent for overall reactions.

How to interpret this relation type

A theory, law, or interaction describes the behavior of the target within a stated regime. The edge detail must state important limits or qualifications.

Le Chatelier’s principleChemical equilibrium

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

The principle summarizes the direction of many stable-equilibrium responses but can mislead when constraints or coupled reactions are left unstated.

How to interpret this relation type

A theory, law, or interaction describes the behavior of the target within a stated regime. The edge detail must state important limits or qualifications.

Chemical equilibriumAcid–base equilibrium

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Acid–base equilibria combine equilibrium constants with solvent, charge balance, mass balance, and activity corrections.

How to interpret this relation type

A more specific theory, model, entity class, or regime is obtained by restricting or extending the scope of a broader framework.

Relation sources

Chemical equilibriumEquilibrium constant

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

At fixed temperature, the equilibrium activity quotient for a specified reaction equals its equilibrium constant.

How to interpret this relation type

The target represents a state, property, observable, or state-dependent description associated with the source system or theory.

Chemical equilibriumSolubility equilibrium

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Solubility equilibrium is a heterogeneous chemical equilibrium between dissolved species and one or more phases.

How to interpret this relation type

A more specific theory, model, entity class, or regime is obtained by restricting or extending the scope of a broader framework.
