Law of Mass Action (C.M Guldberg and P. Waage)

by

Two chemists C.M Guldberg and P. Waage in 1864 proposed this law. This law states that the rate at which:

  • A substance reacts is directly proportional to its active mass; and
  • The reaction proceed is directly proportional to the product of the active masses of the reactants.
