What occurs at the molecular level when a liquid-vapor equilibrium exists?
Kclark71
A molecule is a solid. When enough energy is applied to the molecule (whether by light or heat) it tends to bounce around a bit more and then hits a neighboring molecule, and another, and another. If this concept is applied to an entire solid object, it will eventually expand to a liquid. The same transition occurs from a liquid to a gas; heat is applied to the liquid, molecules bounce against each other with more force and they spread out.

When does an equilibrium occur?
Equilibrium occurs when the first derivative is zero.
When does equilibrium occur in a protostar?
well to my calculations the equilibrium occurs when the gas and the dust form a giant triangle and blow up into a super nova
Why does water have an entropy of zero when it is at zero kelvin?
because at absolute zero or zero kelvin the molecular momentum is zero and dead state occurs
Short difference between melting and boiling point?
Boiling point is the temperature at which a liquid is in equilibrium with the gas phase of the same liquid. Melting point is the temperature at which a solid becomes a liquid (i.e. the point at which a solid and liquid of the same substance will be in equilibrium)
Which thermodynamic law has to do with entropy?
The second law of thermodynamics, generally stated, is that the entropy of an isolated system always increases in any natural process where change occurs. In a system at equilibrium, of course, the entropy remains constant.
What occurs at the molecular level when a solid-vapor equilibrium exists?
The rate of molecules overcoming attractive forces is equal to the rate of molecules entering the solid state.
When particles are moving between two phases and no net change in the amount of either phase occurs exists?
E2020? Its Equilibrium
When does an equilibrium occur?
Equilibrium occurs when the first derivative is zero.
Type of equilibrium that occurs when allel frequencies do not change?
the type of equilibrium that occurs when an allele frequencies do not change is dynamic equilibrium :)
What is the type of equilibrium that occurs when allele frequencies do not change?
Genetic equilibrium is when the allele frequencies remain constant.
Which occurs faster at equilibrium the formation of products from reactants or reactants from the product?
At equilibrium, the formation of products from reactants will be faster.
What is evolution that occurs in short rapid bursts?
Punctuated equilibrium
Hypothesis that speciation occurs in rapid bursts?
Punctuated equilibrium
Does dynamic equilibrium always happen when a change occurs?
No, this is not necessarily.
