Chemical equilibrium the concept of equilibrium sometimes you can visually observe a certain chemical reaction. If the salts contain a common cation or anion, these salts contribute to the concentration of the common ion. For example, if we take a container with ice and water at a temperature that is allowing the existence of both the phases simultaneously, such that, both ice and water are present in a state of equilibrium. A heterogeneous equilibrium is a system in which reactants and products are found in two or more phases. An example of a heterogeneous equilibrium would be when an ionic. On the equilibrium of heterogeneous substances, was originally published in a relatively obscure american journal, the transactions of the connecticut academy of arts and sciences, in several parts, during the years 1875 to 1878 although most cite 1876 as the key year.

A heterogeneous system can involve more than one phase and, for it, thermodynamic equilibrium requires an additional criterion, the system must also be in chemical equilibrium no conversion of mass between one phase and the other. The equilibrium mixture may have different amounts of reactants and products, but the value of the equilibrium constant will always be the same, as long as the temperature is kept constant.
Only for hydrogen diffusion flames complete chemical equilibrium is a good approximation, while for hydrocarbon diffusion flames finite kinetic rates are needed.

At a time when the technology of steam engineering was half a century ahead of its theoretical understanding, gibbs applied himself to the complex problems of thermodynamics.

Homogeneous and heterogeneous equilibrium is a system of chemical equilibrium which depend upon the states of matter of the substances involved.
The value of the equilibrium constant is independent. A small disturb in the equilibrium may shift the equilibrium position either to right forming more products or to left forming more reactants. When the state of equilibrium in a system has components in more than one phase it is termed as a heterogeneous equilibrium.
