Equilibrium
◉ State of balance
◉ The rate of transfer of matter or heat from one phase to
the other is equal to the rate of transfer in the reverse
direction at equilibrium.
◉ A condition wherein the maximum possible composition is
reached given the set of conditions
◉ Also termed as “saturated conditions”
