for A+ + X- -> AX
with I=3, J=3, K=0
(i is number of components)
I don't know the meaning of stoichiometric coefficients vji,
and how to calculate it
A stoichiometric constant is a numerical value that represents the ratio of reactants and products in a chemical reaction. It is used to determine the amount of each substance present in a reaction based on the coefficients in the balanced equation.
A stoichiometric constant is calculated by dividing the coefficient of a substance in the balanced equation by the coefficient of the limiting reactant. This gives the ratio of that substance to the limiting reactant in the reaction.
Stoichiometric constants are important in chemistry because they allow us to predict the amount of reactants needed or products formed in a chemical reaction. They also help us analyze the efficiency of a reaction and determine if any excess reactant is present.
The Law of Conservation of Mass states that mass is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction. Stoichiometric constants help us to balance equations and ensure that the total mass of reactants equals the total mass of products, thus following this law.
No, stoichiometric constants are fixed values for a specific reaction and do not change. However, they can vary depending on the reaction and the substances involved.
