Question

For a system to be in thermodynamic equilibrium, do the temperature and the pressure have to be the same everywhere

Answer 1

Answer:

Yes temperature, pressure and any other state variables are same for thermodynamic equilibrium.

Answer 2

Yes, the temperature and the pressure should be the same or constant for a system to be thermodynamic equilibrium.

• Keeping the temperature and the pressure constant is one of the main conditions required for a system to be in thermodynamic equilibrium.
• In this system, chemical equilibrium is observed. This means there is no change in free energy and there are no reactions occurring.
• Since this system is under chemical equilibrium, it depends on external parameters like temperature and pressure which are to be kept same or constant.
