equilibrium means the rate of forward reaction = rate of backward reaction...
there are three types of equilibrium
1. amount of products > amount of reactants
2. amount of products = amount of reactants
3. amount of products < amount of reactants
A saturated solution.
Let us put hypotonic into the mix. Hyper is more, hypo is less so that puts -tonic right in the middle, as a reference point. That reference point is also called equilibrium. When a solution contains more solute that it would normally contain at equilibrium it is hypertonic, and when a solution has dissolved in it less than the amount of solute that it would normally contain at equilibrium it is hypotonic.
A system in equilibrium has all the ingredients (reactants) and yields (products) in the same state as one another. Another form of equilibrium involves solute chemistry when the amount of solute out of solution equals that which is dissolved. Such as system is regarded as equilibrium in saturation.
maculae/static equilibrium
Hypertonic is when you have a high concentration of solute relative to the solvent. For example, salt water is a hypertonic solution with vast amounts of sodium, chlorine, potassium, and iodine dissolved in water.
Equilibrium is only found in a saturated solution, where the dissolved species and the undissolved species are in equilibrium with each other. In a dilute solution there is nothing that is undissolved, and so there is no equilibrium, and by definition a supersaturated solution is out of equilibrium and essentially has too much stuff dissolved in it (it will eventually return to equilibrium and some of the dissolved material will precipitate out).
isotonic solution, equilibrium
Equilibrium solubility is how much of a certain solute is in solution when the system has reached equilibrium. For example, when something like silver chloride (AgCl) is placed in water, none of it goes into solution. But given some time, an equilibrium will be reached where a small amount of AgCl is in solution and is in equilibrium with the insoluble AgCl.
When the dissolving rate equals the rate at which molecules come out of solution, the solution is in a state of dynamic equilibrium. This means that the amount of solute dissolving is equal to the amount of solute precipitating out of solution, resulting in a stable concentration of solute.
A saturated solution.
equilibrium
A simple example of a solution in equilibrium is a saturated salt solution, where the rate of salt dissolving is equal to the rate of salt crystallizing out of the solution, resulting in a dynamic equilibrium where the concentration of salt remains constant.
A solution with a concentration above the equilibrium solubility is called supersaturated. This means that the solution contains more solute than it should be able to hold at that given temperature.
The cell and the solution will reach equilibrium when they both contain 40% water. At equilibrium, the water will flow from the region of higher concentration (50% in the cell) to the region of lower concentration (30% in the solution) until the concentrations are equal.
The equilibrium constant of acetic acid in a solution at a given temperature is a measure of the ratio of the concentrations of the products to the concentrations of the reactants at equilibrium. It is denoted by the symbol Kc.
At equilibrium, the rate of dissolution is equal to the rate of crystallization. This means that the amount of solute dissolving is the same as the amount of solute precipitating out of solution, leading to a dynamic equilibrium where there is no net change in the concentration of the solution.
The solution is called isotonic when the cell is in equilibrium. This means that the concentration of solutes inside and outside the cell is the same, resulting in no net movement of water across the cell membrane.
