The Law of Mass Action is a principle in chemistry that describes the relationship between the concentrations of reactants and products in a chemical reaction at equilibrium. It states that the rate of a chemical reaction is proportional to the product of the concentrations of the reactants, each raised to the power of their respective stoichiometric coefficients in the balanced chemical equation.
