Question

Statement 1: Physical equilibrium is not static but dynamic in nature.
Satement 2: Physical equilibrium is a state in which two opposing processes are proceeding at the same rate.

• A. Satement 1 is false while Statement 2 is true.
• B. Satement 1 is true while Statement 2 is false.
• C. Both statements are true
• D. Both statements are false

Answer 1

The correct option is C Both statements are true

Physical equilibrium exists between different physical states of a substance when a phase transformation occurs. It is dynamic in nature as the rate of forward reaction becomes equal to the rate of backward reaction.
