In real life, a given system can approach equilibrium from different starting points but will still have the same equilibrium constant. How is this possible?

@Somy

OpenStudy (somy):

well ratio is still same so equilibrium constant will still be the same doesn't really matter how you start it

OpenStudy (somy):

coz no matter what changes you add to equilibrium its still gonna tend to eliminate that change Le chatelier's principle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it's like starting from two different sides of the field but still reaching the same place? I'm just trying to picture it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't learn about La chatelier's principle until the next lesson.

OpenStudy (somy):

hmmm lets say you are given a specific amount of reactants and these- give you a product (depending on amount of reactant) and at this stage equilibrium is reached now if we increase amount of product equilibrium will shift to reactant side to "BALANCE" it meaning it will favor production of reactants

OpenStudy (somy):

oh nevermind what i just said then

OpenStudy (somy):

then well your saying also kinda makes sense so yeah you can picture it that way :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay then I guess I'll keep it simple until I learn the principle.

OpenStudy (somy):

yeah :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks again you're the best!
