Law of mass action was derived by:

Correct answer: D. CM Guldberg and P Waage

  • A. Newton
  • B. CM Guldberg
  • C. P Waage
  • D. CM Guldberg and P Waage

Explanation

The law of mass action states that the rate of a chemical reaction is proportional to the product of the concentrations of the reactants. It was formulated by the Norwegian chemists C.M. Guldberg and P. Waage in the 19th century.

About Chemical Equilibrium

Reversible reactions reach dynamic equilibrium when forward and reverse rates become equal, and Le Chatelier's principle predicts the effect of changing concentration, pressure or temperature. The chapter also covers solubility product, the common ion effect, buffer action and the conditions used in Haber's process, with equilibrium shifts distinguished from changes in the equilibrium constant.
