Chemical Equilibrium:

This refers to the state where the concentrations of all reactants and products remain constant over time because their rates of reaction are equal.

Le Chatelier's Principle: This principle states that if a dynamic equilibrium is disturbed by changing conditions, then the system adjusts to counteract this change and restore equilibrium.

Stoichiometry:

This term refers to the calculation of relative quantities of reactants and products in chemical reactions.
