Do we group reversible reaction with all reactants and product solid as homogenous or heterogeneous equilibrium?
My personal thought is that they should be in heterogenous equilibrium as we define it as all reactants and products being of different phase (phase-their must not be a visible boundary) and solids ...

Is it possible to have only liquid in a closed container?
I recently read an answer by Aman Rusia for this question: Is a liquid in a container always in equilibrium with its vapour?
In it, they say that
You can't have a container filled with only ...

Water vapour pressure in oxygen gas bubble
Suppose we have a source of O$_2$ bubble formation in water at specific nucleation sites, how can we estimate the water vapour pressure inside the O$_2$ bubbles?
I know that:
(1): $p_\mathrm{O_2}+...

Why does equilibrium of ice and water only exist at 273K at normal pressure?
I am a high school student and I am a little confused in the concept of spontaneity of a reaction and how equilibrium works for a reaction, I got some confusions:
Let's take example of freezing of ...

What does the state of a substance at a specific T and P mean?
From the phase diagram of water, we see that water is a liquid at 20 °C, 1 atm. The state of the water at 20 °C, 1 atm is liquid. But there is actually also water vapor in equilibrium with liquid ...

Is ionisation an equilibrium process?
I read in a page that ionisation is an irreversible process. But, as equilibrium is always reversible would that mean equilibrium does not involve ionisation process.
And than dissociation is a ...

Triple Point of a compound and critical point
Is it necessary for all compounds to have a triple point? Also, how is the triple point determined?
Suppose a substance does not have a triple point, so how do researchers agree on the impossibility ...

Cases when Raoult's law is unsolvable
Setup
Consider a closed binary mixture of known total molar composition $n_i$, held at volume $V$ and temperature $T$. The equilibrium phase composition is determined by $\mu_i^{vap} = \mu_i^{liq}$. ...
