7. Equilibrium

Equilibrium encompasses the concept of a balance between opposing processes in chemical or physical systems. It can be categorized into physical and chemical equilibrium, with each having distinct characteristics and examples. The study of equilibrium extends to factors affecting it, such as concentration, temperature, and pressure, providing insights into real-world phenomena and applications in various scientific fields.

Sections

  • 7

    Equilibrium

    Equilibrium occurs when opposing processes in a system occur at the same rate, leading to a stable condition.

    Learning Practice

  • 7.1

    Introduction To Equilibrium

    Equilibrium is a state in which opposing processes occur at the same rate, resulting in no net change within chemical or physical systems.

    Learning Practice

  • 7.2

    Types Of Equilibrium

    This section describes the two main types of equilibrium in chemical and physical systems: physical equilibrium and chemical equilibrium.

    Learning Practice

  • 7.2.1

    Physical Equilibrium

    Physical equilibrium describes the state during phase changes of matter where opposing processes occur at the same rate.

    Learning Practice

  • 7.2.2

    Chemical Equilibrium

    Chemical equilibrium occurs when two opposing reactions happen at the same rate, resulting in stable concentrations of reactants and products.

    Learning Practice

  • 7.3

    Characteristics Of Chemical Equilibrium

    Chemical equilibrium is a dynamic state where the rate of the forward and reverse reactions are equal, resulting in constant concentrations of reactants and products.

    Learning Practice

  • 7.4

    Reversible And Irreversible Reactions

    This section distinguishes between reversible and irreversible reactions in chemistry, illustrating how the former allows products to revert to reactants while the latter proceeds in one direction only.

    Learning Practice

  • 7.4.1

    Reversible Reactions

    Reversible reactions are chemical processes where products can convert back into reactants, indicated by a double arrow (⇌).

    Learning Practice

  • 7.4.2

    Irreversible Reactions

    Irreversible reactions only proceed in one direction, transforming reactants into products without reversing.

    Learning Practice

  • 7.5

    Factors Affecting Equilibrium (Le Chatelier’s Principle)

    Le Chatelier’s Principle states that when a system at equilibrium is disturbed, it adjusts to minimize that disturbance.

    Learning Practice

  • 7.6

    Examples Of Equilibrium In Everyday Life

    This section provides everyday examples of equilibrium in both chemical and physical systems.

    Learning Practice

  • 7.7

    Importance Of Equilibrium

    The importance of equilibrium lies in its crucial role in chemical processes and biological systems.
