General Characteristics of Equilibria Involving Physical Processes…

General Characteristics of Equilibria Involving Physical Processes – General characteristics of a physical process which is in equilibrium are as follows:
(i) Equilibrium is dynamic in nature.
(ii) Equilibrium is possible only in a closed system at a particular temperature.
(iii) Rate of forward reaction is equal to rate of reverse reaction.
(iv) The value of this parameter predicts the extent of process.
