What is coal? Coal is a fossil fuel and is the altered remains of prehistoric vegetation that originally accumulated in swamps and peat bogs. The energy we get from coal today comes from the energy that plants absorbed from the sun millions of years ago. All living plants store solar energy through a process known as photosynthesis.
Dynamic equilibrium. Definition. noun. A system in a steady state since forward reaction and backward reaction occur at the same rate. Supplement. In a dynamic equilibrium, the rate of loss is equal to the rate of gain. Dynamic equilibrium is applied in thermodynamics for systems involving reversible reactions.
Equilibrium, Chemical. the state of a system in which one or more reversible chemical reactions occur and in which the forward and reverse rates for each reaction are equal. The composition of the system therefore remains constant so long as the conditions of its existence are preserved.hemical equilibrium. (chemistry). A condition in which a chemical reaction is occurring at equal rates in its forward and reverse directions, so that the concentrations of the reacting substances do not change with time. Also known as equilibrium.
