ANYWAY: 1.- Le Chatelier«s Principle: the position of equilibrium always shifts in such a direction that eases the tension applied on the system
2.- Chemical reactions DO NOT END in the equilibrium, but rather it is at this point where the speed of the reacion in one way and the other are equal. This means that in the equilibrium, there is as much glycerin and BD combining to produce MeOH and WVO as there is WVO and MeOH combining to produce glycerin and BD. If you take this into consideration, then I figure you can say that removing the glycerin "to a bucket six feet away" is the only way in which you can favour the equilibrium towards the products side, «cause if there still is an interfase between glycerin and BD/WVO, you will still have amounts of glyc/BD in the interfase of the liquids combining to form more WVO/MeOH. What I still can«t explain is how the amount of (not the presence of) glycerin may favour the reaction towards one side or the other. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ken Provost" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <biofuel@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Wednesday, May 01, 2002 1:01 PM Subject: Re: [biofuel] 2 stages... what if?
