- My complaint to Dieter Britz about the inapplicability of Le Chatlier's
- Principle was rebutted. I used a specific chemical example to simplify
- my point. DB countered that in the equilibrium
-
- 2Al + 3Cu(++) <=> 2Al(+++) + 3Cu
-
- although adding copper (as I was discussing) would not re-generate
- metallic aluminum, adding Al(+++) would reverse the reaction. But I did
- not suggest considering the addition of more Al(+++) anymore than the
- suggestion has been offered to check the reaction
-
- D + D --> He-4 + gamma
-
- by pumping helium in to see if deuterium is formed. So I still stand by
- my comment and example.
