352865191reversibleas applied to a reaction, the ability to proceed in either the forward or the reverse direction
352865192dynamic equilibriumthe point at which the rate of the reverse reaction or process equals the rate of the forward reaction or process
352865193equilibrium constant (K)the ratio, at equilibrium, of the concentrations of the products of a reaction raised to their stoichiometric coefficients to the concentrations of the reactants raised to their stoichiometric coefficients
352865194law of mass actionthe relationship between the balanced chemical equation and the expression of the equilibrium constant
352865195reaction quotient (Q)the ratio, at any point in the reaction, of the concentrations of the products of a reaction raised to their stoichiometric coefficients to the concentrations of the reactants raised to their stoichiometric coefficients.
