Troll, troll, troll down the stream you go. "the entropy", as in the entropy in his electrochemical reaction.

It is you who is trolling and not me. Another psychological projection of yourself. You are mixing "the entropy" as found in your first question of your post with the second question, which is in reference to the net direction of a chemical reaction. I never quoted your second question in my post, and for a very good reason!

Below is your original post which I previously replied to. Please note how I only quoted the bold portion in my reply to you, which is more related to entropy in general and not to Profitis' electrochemical process. The second question, which was not quoted in my reply to you, "Does not a chemical reaction proceed net in one direction: feed stock to result?", is more specific to Profitis' electrochemical process. The reason why I didn't quote your entire post, was to avoid any confusion. However, we all know how you like to muddy the waters.

LOL! Does the entropy not increase with time? Does not a chemical reaction proceed net in one direction: feed stock to result?

Now, to answer the second question, a chemical reaction does not always proceed net in one direction. Both reversible and irreversible reactions are prevalent in nature. French chemist Claude Louis Berthollet introduced the concept of reversible reactions in 1803. In reversible reactions, the reactants and products are never fully consumed; they are each constantly reacting and being produced. This is the same thing which Profitis has been saying for his electrochemical process! Unlike irreversible reactions, reversible reactions lead to equilibrium: in reversible reactions, the reaction proceeds in both directions whereas in irreversible reactions the reaction proceeds in only one direction. If the reactants are formed at the same rate as the products, a dynamic equilibrium exists. For example, if a water tank is being filled with water at the same rate as water is leaving the tank (through a hypothetical hole), the amount of water remaining in the tank remains consistent.

You are so confused.

It is you who is the author of confusion, and I do not subscribe to your nonsense!

Does all chemical reactions proceed net in only one direction? It's a simple yes and no answer, and I have already provided you with the answer in my previous post! Answer the simple question, and we'll let the reader decide who is the confused one!

Of course you subscribe to lots of nonsense. You thrive on it.
