Investigating Chemical Equilibrium Date: 30th April 2013 Due Date: 15th May 2013 Prepared For: M. Seraji Prepared by: Andrea Odunze Abstract Many reactions proceed to a state of equilibrium. A chemical reaction at equilibrium‚ where the rates of the forward reaction and reverse reaction are equal‚ looks like this: A + B AB There are three factors‚ according to Le Chatelier’s principle‚ that affect the equilibrium position and equilibrium constant. These are the concentrations of products

MARKET EQUILIBRIUM Consumers and producers react differently to price changes. Higher prices tend to reduce demand while encouraging supply‚ and lower prices increase demand while discouraging supply. Market equilibrium in this case refers market state where the supply in the market is equal to the demand in the market. Economic theory suggests that‚ in a free market there will be a single price which brings demand and supply into balance‚ called equilibrium price. If a market is at equilibrium
