Equilibrium Definition and 1000 Threads

Hi everybody, Given a generic reaction ## Reagents ↔ Products ## the velocity of the reaction is ##R = R_{right} - R_{left} ## To take in account that the velocity of the reaction will slow if approaching the equilibrium we say that $$ R = R_{right}(1 - \frac K K_{eq}) $$ Although it seems...

It is said that a negative potential energy gives stable equilibrium but a positive potential energy gives an unstable equilibrium. why is it so?

I read in some scripts that equilibrium constant for an ideal gas is not a function of pressure: But that is not generally true! Since: $$\left (\frac{\partial \Delta_{R} G}{\partial p} \right )_{T,\vec{n}}=\Delta_{R} V$$ and $$\Delta_{R} G^{0}=-RT\cdot \ln K$$ it should be: $$\left...
