(N/A) For a general reversible reaction $aA + bB \rightleftharpoons cC + dD$,where $A$ and $B$ are reactants and $C$ and $D$ are products,the law of chemical equilibrium states that at a given temperature,the product of the concentrations of the products raised to their respective stoichiometric coefficients,divided by the product of the concentrations of the reactants raised to their respective stoichiometric coefficients,is a constant value known as the equilibrium constant $(K_c)$.
The mathematical expression is given by:
$K_c = \frac{[C]^c [D]^d}{[A]^a [B]^b}$
Here,$[A], [B], [C],$ and $[D]$ represent the molar concentrations of the species at equilibrium. This relationship is also referred to as the law of mass action.
