Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The given statement “for systems in a state of physical equilibrium, two opposite processes take place at equal rates” is true or false has to be indicated.
Concept Introduction:
Physical equilibrium is a state in which two physical processes which are opposing to each other takes place at the same rate at this moment there is no net macroscopic changes can be happened but system is dynamic and at equal rate the forward and reverse process are occurred.
(b)
Interpretation:
The given statement “a liquid-vapor equilibrium situation is an example of a physical equilibrium state” is true or false has to be indicated.
Concept Introduction:
Physical equilibrium is a state in which two physical processes which are opposing to each other takes place at the same rate at this moment there is no net macroscopic changes can be happened but system is dynamic and at equal rate the forward and reverse process are occurred.

- Consider a cylinder containing a mixture of liquid carbon dioxide in equilibrium with gaseous carbon dioxide at an initial pressure of 65 atm and a temperature of 20 C. Sketch a plot depicting the change in the cylinder pressure with time as gaseous carbon dioxide is released at constant temperature.arrow_forwardThe phase diagram for elemental sulfur is shown in Figure 6.18. Figure 6.18 Phase diagram for elemental sulfur. a How many allotropes are shown? b What is the stable allotrope of sulfur under normal conditions of temperature and pressure? c Describe the changes to sulfur as its temperature is increased from 25C while at 1atm pressure.arrow_forward
