Equilibrium

  • Equilibrium is the state of a process in which the properties like temperature, pressure, and concentration etc of the system do not show any change with passage of time.

  • In all processes which attain equilibrium, two opposing processes are involved.

  • Equilibrium is attained when the rates of the two opposing processes become equal. 

  • If the opposing processes involve only physical changes, the equilibrium is called Physical Equilibrium. 

  • If the opposing processes are chemical reactions, the equilibrium is called Chemical Equilibrium

Dear student 
The difference between chemical and ionic equilibrium is in chemical equilibrium the equilibrium is between chemical reactants and products while in ionic equillibrium the equilibrium is between the unionized molecules and ions in an electrolyte.
