Talk:Extent of reaction
Page contents not supported in other languages.
The extent of reaction can be negative. There is a common misconception this can never happen. If in the case of A ⇌ B the reaction starts with 0 moles of A and 1 mole of B, the extent of the reaction will range from [0,-1] moles. I think that this should be addressed in the article as there are many confused people out there (including many who have published incorrect papers in scientific journals).

In the references the work "Atkins, Peter; de Paula, Julio (2006). Physical chemistry (8 ed.). p. 201. ISBN 0-7167-8759-8." is shown twice. I don't know whether this corresponds to Wikipedia's citation style. Also, the fact that they refer to the same page looks suspicious, and could be verified. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.169.138.64 (talk) 05:22, 19 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
