Thermodynamic equilibrium is achieved when all processes in a system are occurring at the same rate in the forward and reverse directions. When this happens the chemical potential in different phases and of different compositions remains constant. For example: condensation is occurring at the same rate as evaporation, products are being formed from reactants at the same rate that the products are reverting to the original reactants. Solids are dissolving at the same rate as they are being deposited from solution, heat is being absorbed at the same rate that it is being radiated, etc. A system that is in thermodynamic equilibrium experiences no changes in phase, composition, temperature, or pressure when it is isolated from its surroundings.

What is thermodynamic probability?

Thermodynamic probability refers to the number of microstates corresponding to a particular macrostate of a thermodynamic system. It quantifies the likelihood of a system being in a specific state based on the arrangement of its particles. In statistical mechanics, higher thermodynamic probability indicates a more stable and favorable macrostate, as systems tend to evolve toward configurations with greater probability. This concept is foundational in connecting microscopic behavior to macroscopic thermodynamic properties.
