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.

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.


When does passive transport come to a stop?

Passive transport does not come to a stop as long as there is a concentration gradient. Once equilibrium is reached and there is no longer a difference in concentration on either side of the membrane, passive transport will slow down significantly but may continue at a very slow pace.

When will Le Chatelier's principle come into effect?

Le Chatelier's principle comes into effect when a system at equilibrium is disturbed by changes in temperature, pressure, or concentration. The principle states that the system will adjust to counteract the imposed change and restore equilibrium.


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.

When does osmosis come to an end?

Osmosis will continue until equilibrium is reached, meaning that there is an equal concentration of solute on both sides of the semi-permeable membrane. Once equilibrium is achieved, osmosis will stop as there will be no net movement of water across the membrane.
