A system is said to be in thermodynamic equilibrium with Surrounding ¡f
A system is said to be in thermodynamic equilibrium with Surrounding ¡f
- A. it is only in thermal equilibrium with surrounding.
- B. it is in both thermal and chemical equilibrium with surrounding.
- C. it is in thermal, chemical as well as mechanical equilibrium with the surrounding.
- D. it is in thermal and mechanical equilibrium, but not in chemical equilibrium with surrounding.
Step-by-step solution
Thermodynamic equilibrium requires simultaneous thermal (same temperature), mechanical (same pressure), and chemical (same chemical potential or composition) equilibrium between the system and surroundings. Option C correctly includes all three conditions.
