Answer to Problem 33A
The boiling water in a closed vessel is the best and easiest example of equilibrium state.
Explanation of Solution
When water starts boiling, at the boiling point of water the evaporation and condensation processes are held together. That state of boiling water is said to be equilibrium state of it which occurs in a closed vessel.
The boiling water in a closed vessel is the simple example of equilibrium state.
