(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
The Law of Mass Action states that the rate of a chemical reaction is proportional to the concentrations of the reacting substances and the demand for their products. If the reactants are plentiful and the products in high demand, the reaction will occur quickly. If they are not, then the reaction will occur slowly.
