Actual Yield of Products

Postby Chris Dis3L » Sun Jan 13, 2019 11:48 pm

Is it only possible to make a reaction go to completion if you keep adding reactants to the reaction? Is there any other way to make a reaction go to completion without external forces aiding it? Is the P/R ratio the reason why reactions don't go to absolute completion?

I don't believe that a reaction goes to completion if you keep adding reactants. On the contrary the reaction will keep shifting. I am not completely sure though.

No it isn't. Adding more reactants will still lead to a stabilization of the reaction in which there is a dynamic equilibrium, with both products and reactants. That's simply the way these reactions are.
