Relation between Solubility Product and Equilibrium Constant
I had read about Solubility, and I found that Solubility is not Molarity (because previously I believe that both are same thing). But, they have a big difference (source : https://en.wikipedia.org/...

Standard Gibbs free energy when all the reactants and products are at standard condition
I have read in my textbook that for a reaction $\Delta G=\Delta G^o-RT\ln Q $, where $\Delta G^o$ is the Gibbs free energy change when the initial concentration of products and reactants are unity. ...

Problem understanding the rate of reaction of reversible reactions
Case 1:
$$\ce{CH_3COOH + NaOH<=>CH_3COONa + H_2O}$$
At equilibrium, there remain extremely small concentrations of the reactants (acetic acid and sodium hydroxide), and comparatively large ...

What is the correct way to write dissociation reactions? [closed]
The variants are as follows:
For a salt (NaCl):
$$\ce{NaCl_{(s)}<=>NaCl_{(aq)}<=>Na_{(aq)}^{+} + Cl_{(aq)}^{-}}\tag{1}$$
$$\ce{NaCl_{(s)}<=>Na_{(aq)}^{+} + Cl_{(aq)}^{-}}\tag{2}$$
$$\...

Why do we need Equilibrium Constant as well as Acid Disocciation Constant? [closed]
I did the experiment to find out the dissociation constant of a weak acid using Henderson equation. However, after going through the theoretical part of the experiment, I am wondering why we need two ...

How does the rate equation account for solids and liquids?
The question is long because I wanted to include the whole thought process.
Given the hypothetical reaction:
$$\ce{ A(s) + B(aq) <=> C(aq) + D(aq)}$$
One would obtain the equilibrium constant:
$$...
