Chemical Equilibrium

A reversible reaction settles where forward and reverse rates match. Stress it — add reactant, change temperature — and watch it shift to restore balance.

Chemical Equilibrium (Le Chatelier)Live

A ⇌ B shifting with stress

A (reactant)0.67 M

⇌

B (product)1.33 M

Controls

A reversible reaction A ⇌ B settles where forward and reverse rates balance. Add reactant or raise temperature and watch the equilibrium shift to relieve the stress.

Governing equation

K_{e q} = \frac{[ B ]}{[ A ]} = \frac{1.33}{0.67} \approx 2.00

Reading this result: Effective K is near 1, so A and B coexist in comparable amounts and a small stress can tip the balance either way.

How it works

Le Chatelier's principle says a system at equilibrium responds to a stress by shifting to relieve it. This tool solves the A to B equilibrium for the balance of reactants and products as you change the equilibrium constant, added amount, and temperature.

Frequently asked questions

Is this chemical equilibrium Le Chatelier tool really free?▾

Yes. Chemical Equilibrium runs entirely in your browser using your device's own compute, so local use is free forever. You only pay Compute Tokens if you scale a job to the cloud.

Do I need to install anything?▾

No. Everything runs client-side in a modern browser — no downloads, no license, no account required to start.

Can I save or share my simulation?▾

Create a free account to save projects, and use a shareable embed or minted DOI to publish a live, interactive version anywhere.

How accurate are the results?▾

The solver uses established numerical methods, but results are for research and educational purposes and should be validated against experiment or professional review before you rely on them.
