Diffusion equilibrium

Diffusion equilibrium is reached when the concentrations of the diffusing substance in the two compartments becomes equal.

Recognize and detect the effects of electrostatic charges on your balance

Consider two systems; S₁ and S₂ at the same temperature and capable of exchanging particles. If there is a change in the potential energy of a system; for example μ₁>μ₂ (μ is Chemical potential) an energy flow will occur from S₁ to S₂, because nature always prefers low energy and maximum entropy.
