  General Equilibrium
To express the equilibrium, the equilibrium constant expression (Kc) is used.
The equilibrium constant expression can be found by multiplying the equilibrium concentrations of the products raised to their coefficient powers and dividing by the equilibrium concentration of the reactants raided to their coefficient powers.
Notice also that the equilibrium constant expression for Equation #2 is the reciprocal of the equilibrium constant expression for Equation #1.

  Chemical equilibrium - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Chemical equilibrium is the state in which a chemical reaction proceeds at the same rate as its reverse reaction; the rates of the forward and reverse reactions are equal, and the concentration of the reactants and products stop changing.
Chemical systems tend to equilibrium because it is the state in which global entropy is the highest ("global" refers to the sum of the entropy of the system and of its surroundings).
Therefore, the equilibrium constant is more rigorously defined by the substances activity coefficients, which are usually assumed to be equal to the molarities of solutes or equal to one for solids and solvents.

Despite the failure of this derivation, the equilibrium constant for a reaction is indeed a constant, independent of the activities of the various species involved, though it does depend on temperature as observed by the van 't Hoff equation.
If a mixture is not at equilibrium the liberation of the excess Gibbs energy (or Helmholtz energy at constant volume reactions) is the 'driving force' for the composition of the mixture to change until equilibrium is reached.
To meet the thermodynamic condition for equilibrium the Gibbs energy must be stationary, meaning that the derivative of G with respect to reaction coordinate (ΔG) must be zero.

Chemical equilibrium is the state in which a chemical reaction proceeds at the same rate as its reverse reaction.
The left side of the equation is called the mass action expression and is denoted Q for a generic state (not necessarily in equilibrium).
For a reaction at constant pressure (which is actually somewhat more typical) you would use the Gibbs free energy, ΔG* = ΔH - TΔS*, where ΔH is the change in enthalpy.

 Reaction Equilibrium in the Gas Phase   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Since the reaction equilibrium can and does respond to a change in volume, it must be that the change in volume affects the rates of both the forward and reverse processes.
Each reaction equilibrium can be described by an equilibrium constant in which the partial pressures of the products, each raised to their corresponding stoichiometric coefficient, are multiplied together in the numerator, and the partial pressures of the reactants, each raised to their corresponding stoichiometric coefficient, are multiplied together in the denominator.
Thus, the reaction responds to the stress of the volume increase by partially offsetting the pressure decrease with an increase in the number of moles of gas at equilibrium.

During an dynamic equilibrium, the rate of the forward reaction equals the rate of the reverse reaction.
Upon examining the equilibrium, one sees that there are five moles of gas particles on the left hand side of the equilibrium, while there are two moles of gas particles on the right hand side of the equilibrium.
Thus if the equilibrium shifts to the right, the number of gas particles in the container become reduced, and the excess pressure is relieved.

 Introductory University Chemistry I: Chemical Equilibrium: Principle of Le Chatelier   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
If a system is not in equilibrium, the driving force toward equilibrium is greater than the driving force away from equilibrium and the system has a net driving force toward equilibrium.
Alternatively, if a system is not in equilibrium the rate of the reaction toward equilibrium is greater than the rate of the opposite reaction so there is a net movement always toward the equilibrium state.
If the moles of gas present cannot be decreased by reaction, because no moles of gas are present or because the number of moles of gas cannot be changed by reaction, there will be no significant effect.

 Experiment 9 - Chem 100
As the forward reaction uses up more reactants and produces more products, making the forward reaction slower and the reverse reaction faster, eventually they reach a point where the reverse reaction makes reactants at exactly the same rate that the forward reaction uses them up—this is equilibrium.
For instance, if a reaction is at equilibrium and an some more of one of the products is added to the system, the rate of the reverse reaction will increase temporarily due to the increase in the concentration of the products.
After a period of time, equilibrium will be reestablished, but it the concentrations of reactants and products will be a bit different than at the original equilibrium, so it is said that the position of equilibrium has shifted toward the reactants in response to the stress of adding products.
