(i) Chemical Equilibrium: It is state of a reversible chemical reaction in which no change in the amount of reactants and products takes place.
(ii) At equilibrium, Rate of forward reaction = Rate of backward reaction
Characteristics of equilibrium:
(i) In chemical equilibrium, the rates of forward and backward reactions are equal.
(ii) The observable properties such as pressure, concentration, color, density, viscosity etc., of the system remain unchanged with time.
(iii) The chemical equilibrium is a dynamic equilibrium, because both the forward and backward reactions continue to occur even though it appears static externally.
(iv) In physical equilibrium, the volume of all the phases remain constant.
11.
(i) In a decomposition reaction, a single compound splits into two or more simpler substances by the help of heat. It is called 'Thermolysis'.
(ii) In this type of reaction, the reactant is decomposed by applying heat.
(iii) For example, It is a class of compound to element/element decomposition. i.e. a compound (HgO) is decomposed into two elements (Hg and Oxygen).
(iv) When calcium carbonate is heated, it breaks down in to calcium oxide and carbon dioxide.
(v) It is a type of compound to compound/compound decomposition.
(vi) In thermal decomposition reaction, heat is supplied to break the bonds.
(vii) Such reactions, in which heat is absorbed, are called 'Endothermic reactions'.

a) Wire is cut into 5 equal parts. Since all dimensions are same, resistance of each wire is equal and has a value = \(\frac {R}{5}\)
b) Formula for finding the effective resistance when connected in parallel is
\(\frac{1}{R_{p}^{\prime}}=\frac{1}{R_{1}}+\frac{1}{R_{2}}+\frac{1}{R_{3}}+\frac{1}{R_{4}}+\frac{1}{R_{5}}\)
Here, \(\mathrm{R}_{1}=\mathrm{R}_{2}=\mathrm{R}_{3}=\mathrm{R}_{4}=\mathrm{R}_{5}=\frac{\mathrm{R}}{5}\)
\(\frac{1}{R_{p}}=\frac{5}{R}+\frac{5}{R}+\frac{5}{R}+\frac{5}{R}+\frac{5}{R}\)
\(\frac{1}{R_{p}}=\frac{25}{R} \)
\(R_{p}=\frac{R}{25} \Omega\)
c) If the resistors are connected in series, then the effective resistance will be
\(\mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{s}}=\frac{\mathrm{R}}{5}+\frac{\mathrm{R}}{5}+\frac{\mathrm{R}}{5}+\frac{\mathrm{R}}{5}+\frac{\mathrm{R}}{5} \)
\(\mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{s}}=\frac{5 \mathrm{R}}{5}=\mathrm{R}\)
Ratio of effective resistance in series connection to that of the parallel connection is
\(\frac{R_{s}}{R_{p}}=\frac{R}{R / 25}=\frac{25}{1}\Rightarrow R_s:R_p=25:1\)
