Chapter 13
Chemical equilibrium exists when two opposing processes occur at equal rates.

An equilibrium position is a set of equilibrium concentration.

The symbol
>> means MUCH greater then.
EXAMPLE:

If at a given temp. the equilibrium constant for the reaction (H2)g + (Cl2)g --> 2NH3g is Kp, then the equilibrium constant for the reaction HCl g  -->  <-- 1/2 H2 (g) + Cl2 (g) is ?

           the square root of kp
