At `0^(@)C` and 1 at pressure, why is the equilibrium established between water and ice regarded as dynamic in nature?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

At `0^(@)C` and under 1 atm pressure, 'water`hArr`ice' equilibrium is said to be dynamic since at equilibrium the rate of melting of ice is equal to the rate fo freezing of water.
