Differentiate between steady-state and equilibrium state

In this post, we will explore the fundamental differences between steady-state and equilibrium states in thermodynamic systems. Steady State In a steady-state process, the system’s properties (state variable such as T, P, density, concentration, etc.) remain constant with time at any given location, but these variables may vary across different locations within the system. Equilibrium…

Solids have a strongest intermolecular force than liquids and gases. Then, why the heat of vaporization is more than the heat of fusion?

In this post, you will learn why the heat of vaporization is more than the heat of fusion despite solids having the strongest intermolecular force as compared to liquid & gas.
