    Equilibrium, in physics, the condition of a system when neither its state of motion nor its internal energy state tends to change with time. A simple mechanical body is said to be in equilibrium if it experiences neither linear acceleration nor angular acceleration; unless it is disturbed by an.

  3. Chemical equilibrium | Definition, Equation, & Facts | Britannica

    www.britannica.com/science/chemical-equilibrium

    chemical equilibrium, condition in the course of a reversible chemical reaction in which no net change in the amounts of reactants and products occurs. A reversible chemical reaction is one in which the products, as soon as they are formed, react to produce the original reactants.

  4. Equilibrium Definition & Meaning - Merriam-Webster

    www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/equilibrium

    1. : a state of balance between opposing forces or actions that is either static (as in a body acted on by forces whose resultant is zero) or dynamic (as in a reversible chemical reaction when the velocities in both directions are equal) 2. : a state of intellectual or emotional balance.

  5. 15.1: The Concept of Equilibrium - Chemistry LibreTexts

    chem.libretexts.org/Bookshelves/General_Chemistry...

    Chemical equilibrium is a dynamic process that consists of a forward reaction, in which reactants are converted to products, and a reverse reaction, in which products are converted to reactants. At equilibrium, the forward and reverse reactions proceed at equal rates.

  6. Equilibrium - Definition and Examples - Biology Online

    www.biologyonline.com/dictionary/equilibrium

    In biology, equilibrium is reached when the internal and external factors are regulated resulting in stability and balance within a biological system. Equilibrium is important as it helps maintain optimal functioning or optimal conditions for biological processes.

  7. Chemical equilibrium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_equilibrium

    In a chemical reaction, chemical equilibrium is the state in which both the reactants and products are present in concentrations which have no further tendency to change with time, so that there is no observable change in the properties of the system. [1] This state results when the forward reaction proceeds at the same rate as the reverse ...

    At equilibrium, concentrations of reactants and products remain constant. On a macroscopic scale systems appear ‘static’ but is in fact ‘dynamic’ (NO 2 /N 2 O 4 equilibrium, exploring the effect of pressure and temperature or cobalt chloride/water equilibrium to explore the effect of temperature)
