Examples of Non-Equilibrium Systems

This is part of the HSC Chemistry course under the topic of Static and Dynamic Equilibrium.

In this post, we analyse examples of non-equilibrium systems in terms of the effect of entropy and enthalpy, for example:

  • combustion reactions
  • photosynthesis

 

Examples of the many types of chemical reactions, featuring combustion reactions.

 

A TedEd video on “What triggers a chemical reaction?” In this video Kareem Jarrah talks about the effects of entropy and enthalpy in terms of a chemical reaction.
