Which of the following is not a general characteristic of equilibria involving physical processes?
(i) Equilibrium is possible only in a closed system at a given temperature.
(ii) All measurable properties of the system remain constant.
(iii) All the physical processes stop at equilibrium.
(iv) The opposing processes occur at the same rate, and there is a dynamic but stable condition.
The answer is the option (iii) All the physical processes stop at equilibrium.
Explanation: What happens at equilibrium is that both the processes occur at the same rate, and thus there is a dynamic but a pretty much stable condition. Thus, no further physical processes occur.
