Thank you, Dr. deGrazia, this makes sense.

[@ivonnepazmino7050]

the last thing you say! thanks!! I was trying this method with a non complete conversion of species. Finally, I understand!

Thank you!

Thanks a lot. I have seen several videos you have made, all excellent! Regards

What will be the extent of reaction for equilibrium reactions?

Thank you for this video, it is hard to find resources to learn ChemE ...you are a beacon of hope for us students...thanks a million you are truely doing gods work here

I don't understand how you were able to get 2 out of the equation to make it equal the squiggle

Thanks for the question. I think you are asking about what happened at around 4:05 in the screencast. We start with the equation written for equation A, which is 0 moles = 2 moles - 1 mole*(extent of rxn), then moving one term to the other side 1 mole*(extent of rxn) = 2 moles, then divide both sides by 1 mole (extent of rxn) = 2 I hope that helps!

Greek letter ξ - is not squiggle, in my opinion is better to pronounce it correctly so that students would remember it correctly; nonetheless thank you for the lesson. :)

Life is easy until you start introducing ODEs into the equations
