Chemical equilibrium: I. The thermodynamic equilibrium constant

Adon A. Gordus

Open publisher page 11 citations

Abstract

This is the first article in a series of eight that investigates the various assumptions that result in the simplified equilibrium equations found in most introductory texts. In this first article, the author considers the general nature of the constant K, Le Chatelier's principle, and the effect of the temperature on K.
