equilibriumIn physics, an unchanging condition in which an undisturbed system can remain indefinitely in a state of balance. In a static equilibrium, such as an object resting on the floor, there is no motion. In a dynamic equilibrium, in contrast, a steady state is maintained by constant, though opposing, changes. For example, in a sealed bottle half-full of water, the constancy of the water level is a result of molecules evaporating from the surface and condensing on to it at the same rate. |

| The formation of a saline-rich exsolved phase plays an important role in the formation of hydrothermal ore deposits and also plays an important role in the phase equilibria of water in such systems. The chemistry of this speculative process is pictured along conventional lines: solution reactions with adsorption-desorption equilibria and heterogeneous catalysis on minerals. The relevant phase equilibria can be discussed with reference to the Ba, Y, Cu//O, F quaternary reciprocal system, portrayed in Fig. |
