The thermodynamic study of chemical equilibria represents the core of many important branches of chemistry. Coordination and supramolecular chemistry, chemical speciation, molecular modelling, drug design are just few examples.

The importance of chemical equilibria, and chemical thermodynamics in general, results from the simple assertion that many properties of elements and compounds depend mainly on their interactions in a given system: the biological activity of an element or molecule, or their environmental impact can be explained by a detailed study of these interactions, whose nature and strength can be evaluated by chemical equilibrium and other thermodynamic studies.
