Law of Mass Action

Introduction to Law of Mass Action

The law of mass action describes the rate of a chemical reaction. In this formula, A and B represent the molar concentrations of the reactants, and k is the rate constant for the particular reaction. The result represents the rate of the chemical reaction.

Parameter usage:

• A = molar concentration of reactant A
• B = molar concentration of reactant B
• k = rate constant

Output:

• rate = rate of the chemical reaction

Data validation

The molar concentrations and rate constant should be non-negative numbers.

Summary

This formula helps in understanding the rate of a chemical reaction based on the molar concentrations of the reactants and the rate constant.
