Introduction All acids and bases are in equilibrium with their respective conjugate counterparts. On the other hand, there are numerous acids and bases that have significant amounts of substances on both the reactant and product sides of their balanced chemical equations. The law of mass action is used to express the ratio of reactants to products in weak acid and base equilibrium systems. These equilibrium expressions can be used in a number of ways. You have already learned about several uses in lecture.
