Reversible Reactions and Equilibrium

Question 8 • FL-2003350-Chemistry 1 Honors

Which are examples of equilibrium? Check all that apply.

Answer
A
Water drips out of a faucet and down a drain.
B
A person's income and expenses are equal every month.
C
The pressure exerted on the inside of a balloon by the gas inside is equal to the pressure exerted on the outside of the balloon by the atmosphere.
D
The temperature of a metal increases as heat is added to it.

Explanation

Equilibrium occurs when opposing quantities or effects are balanced, so the system is not changing overall. A person's income and expenses being equal each month is an example of financial balance, and equal pressure inside and outside a balloon is an example of pressure equilibrium. Water flowing from a faucet and a metal heating up are changes, not equilibrium.
