Chemistry · EQUILIBRIUM
हिन्दीGiven below are statements regarding physical equilibria: (A) Equilibrium is possible only in a closed system at a given temperature. (B) Both opposing processes occur at the same rate and there is a dynamic but stable condition. (C) All measurable properties of the system remain constant. (D) When equilibrium is attained for a physical process, it is characterised by constant value of one of its parameters at a given temperature. (E) Liquid-vapour equilibrium can be established in both open and closed systems. Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Correct answer · Option 2
(A), (B), (C) and (D) only
Explanation
Physical equilibrium requires a closed vessel because in open systems molecules escape and equilibrium cannot be reached; hence (E) is incorrect while (A), (B), (C), and (D) are all correct characteristics.
