What is Equilibrium

Chapter 10
Handbook of Research on Water Sciences and Society
State where reactants and products reach a balance - no more solute can be dissolved in the solvent in the set conditions (temperature, pressure). Such a solution is called a saturated solution.

Abstract
In this chapter, original methods for determining thermodynamic properties such as the equilibrium activity product or solubility product of sparingly soluble compounds and the stability constants of complexes are described. Methods for determining concentration product and solubility are based solely on pH measurements of the saturated aqueous solutions for a known initial composition of the heterogeneous mixture and the equilibrium constants of an arbitrary set of possible side reactions in the solution. In the case of sparingly soluble acids or hydroxides, the determination of the solubility (Sol) and solubility product (KS) is also possible in the presence of other acids and bases of known concentrations. Sol and KS were calculated from known experimental pH data for a series of hydroxides, acids, neutral and acidic salts MmHxAy(S), as well as basic/mixed salts Mm(OH)xAy(S) of arbitrary composition.

FOSCE: A Scale Measuring Equanimity Defined on the Tenets of Swadharma and Its Role in Contributing to Workplace Spirituality
Equilibrium is defined as an effect of meditation. It is transient and subject to reduction through the passage of time. The practice of meditation needs to be repeated to renew the realisation of equilibrium ( Bagheri & Bagheri, 2013 ).

Contracting Dynamics in Acquiring or Awarding Decisions for Projects and Tenders
In statics when all the forces that act upon an object are balanced, then the object is said to be in a state of equilibrium. The forces are balanced if the rightward forces are balanced by the leftward forces.

Digital Occlusal Force Distribution Patterns (DOFDPs): Theory and Clinical Consequences
The Stomatognathic system seeks equilibrium throughout a lifetime of function. Motion in harmony with design provides the best chance for the system to maintain physiologic function. Maintaining or recreating harmony between motion, function, and design over time, is the ultimate goal when seeking equilibrium for Stomatognathic therapy.
