Electrolytes: Ionic equilibrium primarily deals with electrolytes, substances that dissociate into ions in solution and conduct electricity. Examples include acids, bases, and salts.
Reversible reactions: The system involves a reversible chemical reaction, meaning the products can react back to form the reactants, and vice versa.
Dynamic equilibrium: At equilibrium, the forward and backward reaction rates are equal, but the individual reactions don’t stop. They continue at the same pace, maintaining a constant concentration of reactants and products.
Equilibrium constant (Kc): This value represents the ratio of the product ion concentrations to the reactant ion concentrations at equilibrium. It remains constant at a given temperature.
