A knowledge of equilibrium constants is essential for the understanding of many chemical systems, as well as biochemical processes such as oxygen transport by hemoglobin in blood and acid-base homeostasis in the human body.
Pengetahuan mengenai konstanta kesetimbangan sangat penting untuk memahami berbagai macam sistem kimia, serta proses biokimia seperti transportasi oksigen oleh hemoglobin dalam darah dan homeostasis asam–basa dalam tubuh manusia.
