Where does equilibrium come from?

Equilibrium is a state of balance. In physics and chemistry, it occurs as a dynamic state where opposing forces or reactions result in a state whose average is at least roughly the same.In the human body, the state of equilibrium (balance) is provided by the inner ear and the visual center of the cerebellum.The word equilibrium is from the Latin equi(aequi) meaning equal, and libra, meaning balance.


How do you translate 'balance' into Latin?

"libra" (yes, like the zodiac) can be translated as a scale balance. aequilibrium mean "perfect balance" (this is not a typo - its equilibrium with an "a" in front of it)


What does K stand for in chemistry besides potassium?

In chemistry, "K" can also stand for the equilibrium constant, which is a measure of the ratio of the concentrations of the products to the concentrations of the reactants at equilibrium in a chemical reaction.


Is internal equilibrium from quasi equilibrium?

No, internal equilibrium is not the same as quasi equilibrium. Internal equilibrium refers to a system being in a state where there is no net change in composition, while quasi equilibrium refers to a process that occurs almost at equilibrium, but not necessarily at the exact equilibrium point.

What are the two types of equilibrium and how are they different?

The two types of equilibrium are static equilibrium and dynamic equilibrium. Static equilibrium is when an object is at rest, while dynamic equilibrium is when an object is moving at a constant velocity with no acceleration. Static equilibrium involves balanced forces in all directions, while dynamic equilibrium involves balanced forces with movement.

What is used to describe the conditions of a reaction at equilibrium?

The equilibrium constant (K) is used to describe the conditions of a reaction at equilibrium. It provides information about the relative concentrations of products and reactants at equilibrium.
