A system in equilibrium has all the ingredients (reactants) and yields (products) in the same state as one another. Another form of equilibrium involves solute chemistry when the amount of solute out of solution equals that which is dissolved. Such as system is regarded as equilibrium in saturation.

∙ 7y agoEquilibrium can be thought of as balance. A system in equilibrium may simply be static with all forces balanced, for instance a see-saw with equal forces on either side so that it stays level. We also speak of dynamic equilibrium, where the overall situation stays the same because processes happening in one direction are balanced out by those happening in the opposite direction. An example of this is a popular restaurant. If it is full, the same people are not there all night, but those leaving are exactly balanced by those arriving.

∙ 12y agoYes equilibrium is the state when there is no evolution in a population. In life there is no such thing as equilibrium because all populations evolve.
Hope that helps! :)

What does maintaining osmotic equilibrium mean?
Your cells are in an isotonic environment.
When a system is at equilibrium all the concentrations are 1 M true or false?
treue
What is the difference between a closed water bottle system and an open water bottle system in a lab to measure air pressure?
in closed water bottle system preasure generates due to vaporization of water. but this process of vaporization stopes when equilibrium is acheved for a perticular temperature. but in open bottle system equilibrium is NT acheved and hence vapour preasure can NT be measured.
Characteristics of chemical equilibrium?
A chemical equilibrium can only be obtained in a closed system, and is defined by the equal rates of forward and reverse reactions. Consistency of observable and measurable properties usually indicate a reaction has reached equilibrium.
Which of the following correctly matches the equilibrium receptor to the type of equilibrium it monitors?
maculae/static equilibrium
What does it mean when a system in equilibrium shifts to favor the products?
when a system is in equilibrium it is stable and all its parts function smoothly
What does it mean to say a system has a G equal to zero?
A system has a G equal to zero means it has reached equilibrium .
What is the Medical term meaning equilibrium of a system?
Homeostasis means equilibrium of a system.
Why does a numerically large Keq mean that the products are favored in an equilibrium system?
Because it means that the equilibrium mixture contains more product than reactants.
What effect does a catalyst have on a system equilibrium?
The correct answer is a simple one: The system is unaffected by a catalyst in a system in equilibrium.
What does Le chateliers principal say about upsetting system at equilibrium?
A system of whose equilibrium has been upset will shift to restore equilibrium.
What does dysfunction mean in sociology?
Dysfunctions are the harmful consequences of people's actions. They undermine a system's equilibrium.
What happens when reactant is added to a system at equilibrium?
The equilibrium of the system will be upset.
What does Le chateliers principles say about upsetting a system at equilibrium?
Le Chatelier's principle says that if a system in chemical equilibrium is disturbed, the system will move in such a way as to nullify that change.
What does it mean for a reaction to be a equilibrium?
In a particular time, if the forward and backward reactions of a reversible reactions take place in the same rate, there would be not a visible change (i.e. no net change) in the system, and that system is said to be at equilibrium.
What does Le Chtelier's principle say about upsetting a system at equilibrium?
Le Chatelier principle says, if a restriction is applied to a system in equilibrium, the system adjusts to a new equilibrium that tends to counteract the restriction. When equilibrium is under stress it will shift to relieve that stress. or all concentrations would change.
What happens when a system in equilibrium is subjected to change?
equilibrium readjusts itself and a new equilibrium is established
