Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The equilibrium position of a chemical reaction is determined by the initial concentrations of the reactants, the relative energies of the reactants and products, and the relative degree of organization (entropy) of the reactants and products. These factors influence the direction in which the reaction proceeds to reach equilibrium.
