Summary Introduction

Toreview:

The relation between the law of mass action, solute concentration, and effective concentration.

Introduction:

The law of mass action states that in a chemical reaction, the rate is directly proportional to the product of the concentrations or activities of the reactants. This law helps in predicting the behavior of the solutions in dynamic equilibrium. It is implied on the reactions that are in equilibrium, which means the ratio between the concentration of products and reactants is constant.
