The first such problem is the curious rule that the guidelines use to estimate the effect of a merger. When the forward and reverse rates become equal, the system has q, y achieved chemical equilibrium.
In this chapter, we will combine both of these concepts to discuss equilibrium in the market. Two norwegian chemists, guldberg and waage, were the first to state the fundamental observation of chemical equilibrium in 1864.
