Concentration Changes

Chemical equilibrium is a critical concept in chemistry, referring to the state where the concentrations of reactants and products remain constant over time. This dynamic balance is influenced by various factors, including changes in concentration, which can shift the equilibrium position according to Le Chatelier'
