Equilibrium is reached when the forces or influences acting on a system are balanced, resulting in a stable state. In economic terms, it occurs when the quantity of goods supplied equals the quantity demanded at a specific price, leading to no incentive for change. In physical systems, equilibrium can be achieved when opposing forces or reactions are equal, maintaining a constant state. This balance allows systems to remain in a steady state until external factors disrupt it.
What else can I help you with?
How does a system respond to change once it has reached equilibrium?
At equilibrium its not changing (any more).
Can order spontaneously appear in a macroscopic closed system which has reached thermal equilibrium?
No, order can't spontaneously appear in a macroscopic closed system which has reached thermal equilibrium.
Do random movements of molecules stop once equilibrium is reached?
Yes. Equilibrium is when the movement of molecules stops and equals out.
How can one tell if a reaction has reached its equilibrium?
All motion ceases
What is when the molecules become uniformly distributed they have reached?
When the molecules become uniformly distributed, they have reached equilibrium. This means that there is an equal concentration of molecules throughout the system, and no further net movement of molecules will occur.
What is reached when the number of molecules crossing the membrane is the same in both directions?
When the number of molecules crossing the membrane is the same in both directions, equilibrium is reached. This means that a state of balance has been achieved, where there is no net movement of molecules across the membrane.
What is reached when molecules are equally distributed?
an equilibrium
How does a system respond to change once it has reached equilibrium?
At equilibrium its not changing (any more).
How is equilibrium related to diffusion and osmosis?
Equilibrium in diffusion and osmosis is reached when there is a balanced distribution of particles or solutes across a membrane, resulting in no net movement of particles. In diffusion, equilibrium is reached when there is an equal concentration of particles on both sides of the membrane. In osmosis, equilibrium is reached when the water concentration is the same on both sides of the membrane.
A state that is ultimately reached which results in balance is?
equilibrium :)
Will heat stop moving?
When thermal equilibrium is reached.
What is solubility 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.
Can order spontaneously appear in a macroscopic closed system which has reached thermal equilibrium?
No, order can't spontaneously appear in a macroscopic closed system which has reached thermal equilibrium.
What is a product of substances that cease to change when equilibrium is reached?
concentration
Was dynamic equilibrium reached in any of the molasses demonstration?
yes
Does diffusion ever stop?
Diffusion will continue as long as there is a concentration gradient present. Once equilibrium is reached and the concentrations are equal throughout, diffusion will stop.
Do random movements of molecules stop once equilibrium is reached?
Yes. Equilibrium is when the movement of molecules stops and equals out.
