The mass-action ratio is a concept used in chemistry, particularly in the context of chemical equilibrium and kinetics. It refers to the ratio of the concentrations (or activities) of the products to the concentrations (or activities) of the reactants in a chemical reaction, each raised to the power of their respective stoichiometric coefficients. The mass-action ratio is crucial for understanding how far a reaction has proceeded towards equilibrium.
