Rates of reactions have to be measured experimentally in order to determine the kinetic characteristics of the reaction.
To determine the rate law for a particular reaction one carries out the reaction under controlled and constant conditions with the exception of varying the concentration of one or more of the reactants.
Also, the rates are faster in the early stages of the reaction and become slower as the reaction proceeds.

 Rate Equilibrium   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Since the reverse reaction occurs simultaneously with the forward reaction, a reaction at equilibrium may have reactants remaining.
If the reaction quotient is less than the equilibrium constant, the concentrations of the products must increase and the reaction will proceed in the forward direction until equilibrium is restored.
If the reaction quotient is more than the equilibrium constant, the concentration of the products must decrease and the reaction will run in the reverse direction until equilibrium is restored.

The law of mass action states that any reaction mixture eventually reaches a state (equilibrium) in which the ratio of the concentration terms of the products to the reactants, each raised to a power corresponding to the stoichiometric coefficient for that substance in the balanced chemical equation, is a characteristic value for a given temperature.
Therefore the equilibrium constant of the reverse reaction is the reciprocal of the equilibrium constant of the forward reaction.
While the rate of the forward reaction is equal to the rate of the reverse reaction, equilibrium constant expressions are not a measurement of rate.

For example, given a reaction A B, Hess's law says that H for the reaction is the same whether the reaction is written as A C B or as A B. This is the same as writing that H(A B) = H(A C) + H(C B).

 Free Energy and Direction of Spontaneous Change
If the proper quotient of concentrations at any given instant, the so-called reaction quotient, Q, is less that the equilibrium constant at that temperature, than the reaction will proceed forward in the direction the reaction is written.
Reactions that proceed in the direction of the chemical driving 'force' are called spontaneous reactions.
A reaction that has a positive change in entropy and a negative change in enthalpy will be strongly favored to proceed in the forward direction, i.e the reaction will have a very large equilibrium constant.

 GIBBS FREE ENERGY   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
The balance between the contributions from the enthalpy and entropy terms to the free energy of a reaction depends on the temperature at which the reaction is run.
When a reaction leaves the standard state because of a change in the ratio of the concentrations of the products to the reactants, we have to describe the system in terms of non-standard-state free energies of reaction.
The contribution to the free energy of the reaction from the enthalpy term is therefore constant, but the contribution from the entropy term becomes smaller as the temperature is lowered.

An example of this type of reaction is the incomplete ionization of a weak acid, such as acetic acid, in water: CH3COOH + H2O == H3O+ + CH3COO- When the rate of forward reaction is equal to the rate of the reverse reaction, the system is said to be at equilibrium.
The extent to which a reaction proceeds before reaching equilibrium is given by the equilibrium constant, K. A reaction at equilibrium can be disturbed when the reaction is subjected to stress, such as change in temperature, pressure or concentration of the chemical species.
For exothermic reactions, (Ho is negative, so (-(Ho/R) increases K. At higher temperatures, 1/T decreases this positive contribution to K. A smaller K means a lower [products]equilibrium, in agreement with the prediction by Le Chatelier’s Principle.
