In the two-phase aqueous systems, in ordinary situations the bulk phases are not in equilibrium? Correct Answer True

Normally, it can be assumed that there is negligible resistance to mass transfer at the actual interface, i.e. within distances corresponding to molecular free paths on either side of the phase boundary. This is equivalent to assuming that the phases are in equilibrium at the interface; therefore, CA1i and CA2i are equilibrium concentrations. As a result it is known that there are special situations, such as when there is adsorption of material at the interface, where the assumption is invalid. However, in ordinary situations, the evidence is that equilibrium does exist at the interface between phases. If the bulk liquids were in equilibrium, no net mass transfer would take place.
