<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mrbrklyn, post: 447517, member: 4381&quot;]Thankfully there is no shortage of oxygen, right.&nbsp; The is an energy of activation involved in all reaction and they continue, thermodynamically speaking, until the difference in entropy of the two states, the oxidized states and the non oxidized state, is equal, and all the entropy (Delta H) difference is released.&nbsp; Until then the reaction continues to do work and release heat.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>So in reality, once the reaction starts, it does continue until it is finished.&nbsp; And it is finished when either A) it runs out of oxygen or sulfides or B) it runs out of Silver or whatever metal you have.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you have any further questions on this, I suggest Adkins</p><p><a href="http://ebooks.bfwpub.com/pchemoup.php" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://ebooks.bfwpub.com/pchemoup.php" rel="nofollow">http://ebooks.bfwpub.com/pchemoup.php</a></p><p><br /></p><p>or</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Atkins-Physical-Chemistry-Peter/dp/0198792859" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.amazon.com/Atkins-Physical-Chemistry-Peter/dp/0198792859" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Atkins-Physical-Chemistry-Peter/dp/0198792859</a></p><p><br /></p><p>But I warn you that you need to have some differential equations under your belt and lineal algebra and calc 3 as well to handle simultaneous integration that is need to keep up with Watts and Gibbs.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ruben[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
