What is the difference between the states of phase equilibrium and metastability?

Answer:

The main difference is that the metastable state is not a state of equilibrium, but a state of non-equilibrium that is maintained for a long time. A metastable state is when the system approaches equilibrium in a very slow manner.

And on the other hand the phase equilibrium as the name says is a state of equilibrium in which there are more than two phases coexisting.

<span>Since Florence is east, then Florence is 5 miles due west of Paris (30-25). Then, using the Pythagorean theorem with 45 miles as the length and 5 miles as the width, the square root of (45^2+5^2) is 45.277 miles.</span>

Oxana [17]
It is true because <span>A pyramid of biomass is a representation of the amount of energy contained in biomass, at different trophic levels for a given point in time . The amount of energy available to one trophic level is limited by the amount stored by the level below. Because energy is lost in the transfer from one level to the next, there is successively less total energy as you move up trophic levels. Tree is a base as it provides food and energy.</span>

If a scale on Earth reads 650 N, what is your mass?
OlgaM077 [116]
If the scale reads 650N, then the mass of whoever it is standing on the scale is

         (weight) / (gravity)  =  (650N) / (9.8 m/s²)  =  66.3 kilograms  .

It's not MY mass, even if I'm the one standing on the scale. 
If I stand on a scale and it reads 650 N, the scale is broken.

Alex787 [66]
Hey there!

The answer would be B. The sound moves from air to water.

Sound travels through different mediums. It goes fastest in solids, a little slower in liquids, and slowest in air. Sound is a very fast wave, but remember that mediums can differ that. In a vacuum space, there is no sound at all. (ex. outer space)

Hope this helps !
