1. What is electrochemical equilibrium and what is chemical equilibrium?


2.What are the differences between the two above?


3. The difference between the two i think is electrochemical equilibrium is a state whereby the electrical charge in both compartments are equals.

Wherease chemical equilibrium is a state where concentration in both compartments are equals.

Can someone help to explain this in more details?

These are hardly different, system in a chemical equilibrium is also in an electrochemical equilibrium (and vice versa).
