Law of Mass Action

The Law of Mass Action is a principle in chemistry that states the rate of a chemical reaction is directly proportional to the product of the concentrations of the reactants. In simpler terms, when reactants are mixed together, the more of each substance there is, the faster the reaction will occur. This law is important for understanding how reactions happen and helps predict the behavior of chemical systems in equilibrium, where the forward and reverse reactions occur at the same rate. It's a foundation for studying chemical reactions and developing various applications in science and industry.
