equilibrium properties
Equilibrium properties refer to the stable state of a system where its key characteristics—such as temperature, pressure, and composition—remain constant over time. This occurs when reactions or processes happen at equal rates in both directions, balancing each other out. For example, in a chemical reaction at equilibrium, the amount of reactants and products stays consistent, even though reactions continue happening. These properties depend on conditions like temperature and pressure and help scientists understand and predict how systems behave when they are stable and balanced.
