Something is in "equilibrium" when it is in a state of perfect balance or rest. All forces acting on it are equal and opposite. It is in a "minimum" energy state.
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.
When the concentration of solutes outside the cell and inside the cell are in equilibrium the solution is said to be?
When a cell is in a solution that has the same concentration of water and solutes, it is considered isotonic. Water still moves through the plasma membrane, but water enters and leaves the cell at an equal rate-it has reached an equilibrium, and there is no net movement of water.
Do random movements of molecules stop once equilibrium is reached?
Yes. Equilibrium is when the movement of molecules stops and equals out.
When does the level of solution stop rising?
The level of solution stops rising when the solute can no longer dissolve in the solvent at a given temperature and pressure, reaching saturation. At this point, a dynamic equilibrium exists between dissolved and undissolved solute particles in the solution.
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.
Is reached when the concentration of the solute is the same throughout a solution?
dynamic equilibrium
When the particles are the same throughout the system?
Equilibrium is reached, the solution is isotonic.
Is The substances of a solution are evenly distributed?
Of course they. If not, they would not be "in solution".If substances of a solution are evenly distributed then they have reached equilibrium.
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.
Solution equilibrium most likely exists in which type of solution?
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).
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).
What conditions are present when equilibrium is reached in a solution?
When equilibrium is reached in a solution, the rate of the forward reaction is equal to the rate of the reverse reaction. This means that the concentrations of reactants and products remain constant over time. At equilibrium, the system is dynamically stable, with no net changes occurring in the concentrations of reactants and products.
How do isotonic solutions and equilibrium differ?
isotonic solution, equilibrium
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 :)
