Key Topics to Revise

1

1. Static and Dynamic Equilibrium

  • Static equilibrium occurs when no movement or reaction takes place, e.g., a book lying on a table.
  • Dynamic equilibrium occurs when forward and reverse processes happen at equal rates, resulting in no net change, e.g., liquid-vapour equilibrium.
2

2. Reversible and Irreversible Reactions

  • Reversible reactions proceed in both directions and are denoted by ⇌.
  • Irreversible reactions go to completion and are denoted by →.
  • Most reactions are theoretically reversible, but some proceed almost entirely in one direction.

3. Characteristics of Equilibrium State

  • Equilibrium is dynamic — reactions continue at equal rates.
  • It can be reached from either direction (reactants or products).
  • Only possible in a closed system to prevent escape of substances.

4. Physical and Chemical Equilibria

  • Physical equilibria include phase changes like solid-liquid, liquid-vapour, and solubility.
  • Chemical equilibria involve reversible chemical reactions.
  • Homogeneous equilibrium: all components in the same phase.
