In chemistry, Le Chatelier's Principle, also called the Le Chatelier-Braun principle, can be used to predict the effect of a change in conditions on a chemical equilibrium. The principle is named after Henry Louis Le Chatelier and Karl Ferdinand Braun who discovered it independently. It can be summarized as:If a chemical system at equilibrium experiences a change in concentration, temperature, volume, or total pressure, then the equilibrium shifts to partially counter-act the imposed change.
It is common to take Le Chatelier's principle to be a more general observation, roughly stated: "Any change in status quo prompts an opposing reaction in the responding system." This principle also has a variety of names, depending upon the discipline using it. See for example Lenz's law and homeostasis.
In chemistry, the principle is used to manipulate the outcomes of reversible reactions, often to increase the yield of reactions. In pharmacology, the binding of ligands to the receptor may shift the equilibrium according to Le Chatelier's principle thereby explaining the diverse phenomena of receptor activation and desensitization
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.
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.
The difference is that chemical equilibrium is the equilibrium of products and reactants in a reaction while physical equilibrium is the equilibrium of the physical states of the same substance.
equilibrium readjusts itself and a new equilibrium is established
the type of equilibrium that occurs when an allele frequencies do not change is dynamic equilibrium :)
J. Hankin has written: 'Treatise on statics, exhibiting merely the laws of equilibrium in an abstract form'
In the context of fractional wavelength antennas, the principle of equilibrium is not ignored but rather redefined. The antennas are designed to operate efficiently at specific harmonic frequencies, where the electric and magnetic fields are balanced within the antenna structure, even though the physical length may be a fraction of the full wavelength. Therefore, although the physical size may not reflect the full wavelength, the principle of equilibrium is still maintained at the operating frequency of the antenna.

An object is said to be in equilibrium when two opposing forces acting upon it create a resultant force of 0.Example:A car is sitting on a road. The force of gravity pushes the car downward, while an opposing force pushes it upward. This causes an equilibrium, and therefore the car does not move as a result of these two opposing forces.
equilibrium conversion is that which is at equilibrium concentration

An equilibrium constant
above equilibrium
(A)Equilibrium price falls, equilibrium quantity increases (B) Equilibrium price rises, equilibrium quantity falls (C) Equilibrium price falls, equilibrium quantity falls (D) Equilibrium price rises, equilibrium quantity rises
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.
The four fundamental laws of thermodynamics are: the zeroth law (establishes temperature equilibrium), the first law (conservation of energy), the second law (entropy of an isolated system not decreasing), and the third law (impossibility of reaching absolute zero).
Equilibrium is the point where demand = supply
